To calculate density in grams per milliliter, use the formula: Density = Mass/Volume. Measure the mass in grams and the volume in milliliters. For instance, if you have a substance weighing 50 grams and with a volume of 25 milliliters, the density would be 50g / 25mL = 2g/mL. This straightforward calculation can apply to any substance where you have these measurements.

FAQs & Answers

  1. What is density? Density is the mass of a substance divided by its volume, usually expressed in grams per milliliter.
  2. How do I measure mass and volume for density calculations? Use a scale to measure mass in grams and a graduated cylinder for the volume in milliliters.
  3. Can density calculations apply to all substances? Yes, as long as you have accurate measurements of mass and volume, you can calculate the density of any substance.
  4. Is there a quick way to remember the density formula? Yes, remember 'Density = Mass ÷ Volume' for quick references when calculating.
