Density of liquids

• Density is the mass per unit volume
• The units of density is g/cm3 or kg/m3
• Density   

• To determine density of a liquid, first determine both its mass and volume
• Volume is found by pouring the liquid into a measuring cylinder
• Mass is found by;

• Weighing the beaker and record its mass in grams
• Pour the liquid into the beaker and measure the mass in grams
• Subtract the two measurements of mass, to find the mass of water –  Then use the mass and volume obtained to find its density
