DENSITY CALCULATIONS PRACTICE PROBLEMS

This sheet can be printed out for use as worksheet. Solve the following problems involving density calculation and be sure to have the proper number of significant digits. Pleas show units where appropriate. Note that the final answers are at the bottom of the page in small font.

Formulas For Density Calculations

1) Density = Mass/Volume (D= M/V)

2) Volume = Mass/Density (V= M/D)

3) Mass = Density x Volume (M = D x V)
