Find the Density of each of the following
To find mass or volume using the
D=M/V formula


The D= M/V formula can be manipulated
to find the mass, volume or density of an
object. As long as you have two of the
three you can calculate the third.
To find mass or volume using the
D=M/V formula


If you have the density and the volume
you can change the formula so that you
can find the mass. M = DV

To find mass or volume using the
D=M/V formula


If you have the density and the mass you
can change the formula so that you can
find the volume. V = M/D

To find Mass

To find the mass of an object when you
know its Density and Volume use the
equation
M = DV
Mass = Density X Volume


To find mass or volume using the
D=M/V formula

Copper has a Density of 8.9 g/mL. You
have a sample that has a volume of 13 ml.
What is the mass?
(8.9 g/mL) X (13 mL)
115.7 g

Find the mass of the following
materials
1. A 19 mL sample of Pyrite has a density
of 5.0 g/mL. What is the mass of your
sample. _______________________
2. Sulfur has a density of 2.1g/mL and a
volume of 3062 mL. What is the mass of
the sulfur ______________________
3. Galenas volume is 764 mL and it density
is 7.4 g/mL. What is the mass of Galena

To Find Volume
To find the volume of a sample when
you have density and mass use the
formula
V = M/D
Volume = Mass Density
