QuestionAnswer
The density of a material is a measure of the amount of matter in a given volume.Density Definition
What is density a measure of?The amount of matter in a given volume.
Density is measured in kilograms per cubic metre (kg/m³).Density Units
In what units is density measured?Kilograms per cubic metre (kg/m³).
The density of a material can be calculated using this equation:Density Calculation Equation
What equation is used to calculate density?Density = Mass / Volume
For example, we can calculate the density of an object with a mass of 300 kg and a volume of 25 m³.Density Example 1
How can we calculate the density of an object with a mass of 300 kg and a volume of 25 m³?Density = 300 kg / 25 m³ = 12 kg/m³
To calculate the density of 100 cm³ of gold with a mass of 1.93 kg, first convert the volume into cubic metres. Remember, 1 m³ = 1,000,000 cm³.Converting Volume Units
How do we convert 100 cm³ to cubic metres?100 cm³ = 100 / 1,000,000 m³ = 0.0001 m³
We then plug the values into the formula: Density = Mass / VolumeDensity Example 2 Calculation
How do we calculate the density of gold with a mass of 1.93 kg and a volume of 0.0001 m³?Density = 1.93 kg / 0.0001 m³
The density of an object depends on how close its particles are to each other.Density and Particles
What does the density of an object depend on?How close its particles are to each other.
The kinetic theory model shows how particles are arranged in each state of matter.Kinetic Theory Model
What does the kinetic theory model show?How particles are arranged in each state of matter.
The states of matter are solid, liquid, and gas.States of Matter
What are the three states of matter?Solid, liquid, and gas.
In a solid, particles are very close together and the forces of attraction between them are strong.Solid State Particles
How are particles arranged in a solid state?Particles are very close together with strong forces of attraction between them.
The solid state has the highest density. Particles don't move around but vibrate in fixed positions.Density of Solids
Which state of matter has the highest density and why?Solid, because particles are very close together and vibrate in fixed positions.
In a liquid, particles are quite close together.Liquid State Particles
How are particles arranged in a liquid state?Particles are quite close together.
The forces of attraction between particles in a liquid are weak, so they can move around. This makes liquids less dense than solids.Density of Liquids
Why are liquids less dense than solids?Because the forces of attraction between particles are weak, allowing them to move around.
In a gas, particles are far apart and move constantly in random directions due to no forces of attraction between them.Gas State Particles
How are particles arranged in a gas state?Particles are far apart and move in random directions with no forces of attraction between them.
This makes gases even less dense than liquids.Density of Gases
Why are gases less dense than liquids?Because particles are far apart and move randomly due to the lack of attractive forces.
When an object changes between being solid, liquid, or gas, it changes state.State Change
What happens when an object changes between being solid, liquid, or gas?It changes state.
Changes of state are physical changes, which means they are reversible.Physical Changes
What type of changes are state changes and are they reversible?Physical changes, and they are reversible.
Physical changes are different from chemical changes, which cannot easily be reversed.Chemical Changes
How are physical changes different from chemical changes?Chemical changes cannot easily be reversed.
If the substance changes back into its original state, it gets back its original properties.Original Properties
What happens to a substance's properties if it changes back into its original state?It gets back its original properties.
When substances change state, mass is conserved. The mass before a state change is equal to the mass after the state change.Mass Conservation in State Changes
What happens to mass when substances change state?Mass is conserved; the mass before a state change is equal to the mass after the state change.
