Chapter 6, Problem 6.2QE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The densities of substance present as a solid, liquid or gas has to be compared.

Concept Introduction:

Density is defined as ratio of the mass of a substance per unit volume. The units of density are therefore ${\text{g/cm}}^3$ or ${\text{kg/m}}^3$. Mathematically the density can be found as follows:

  $\text{Density}\left({\text{g/cm}}^{\text{3}}\right)=\frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Volume}}$
