Density Word Problems

Use the following formula to answer the problems. You must SHOW your work!

density = volume

density =

mass

or, in short form:

1. What is the density of carbon dioxide gas if 0.196 g occupies a volume of 100 mL?

Answer:

3CMx 3 cm x 3cm=27CM

2. A block of wood 3.0 cm on each side and has a mass of 27 g. What is the density of

this block?

Answer:

Answer:

3. An irregularly shaped stone was lowered into a graduated cylinder holding a volume

of water equal to 2.0 mL. The height of the water rose to 7.0 mL. If the mass of the

stone was 25 g, what was its density?

The density formula is

Density (g/mL) = Mass (g) divided by Volume (mL)

It looks like all of your problems give you the mass and volume, but if you need them here are some of the other formals:

Volume (mL) = Mass (g) divided by Density (g/mL)

Mass (g) = Volume (mL) * Density (g/mL)
