Determining Density Solids
a. regular shape
Steps that must be done is to measure the mass of a substance by using a balance or scale. The volume of a substance can be calculated using a formula based on its shape, for example, cubes, blocks. The final step determines the density of a substance by dividing the mass of a substance to the volume of a substance.
b. Irregular shape
For example, you want to know which is the density of the stone. Steps you must do the following:
1) Weigh the stone by using a balance to determine the mass of stone. Record the results pengukuranmu!
2) Provide a measuring cup and pour water into the measuring cup. Record the volume, ie V1 = 50 ml.
3) Enter the stone you want to know the volume into a measuring cup filled with water. Note the increase in the volume of water, for example, V2 = 70 ml.4) Volume stone = V2 - V1
5) The density of a substance is the quotient of the mass of a substance to the volume of a substance.
