[6] If you had two cubes with the same mass, the cube with a higher volume will be (more/less) dense than the other cube.

[7] If you had two cubes with the same volume, the cube with a smaller mass will be (more/less) dense than the other cube.

[8] If an object has a mass value (in grams) that is less than its volume (in cm3) it will have a density value that is ( >, < or = ) 1 and will most likely (sink/float).

[9] If an object has a mass value (in grams) that is greater than its volume (in cm3) it will have a density value that is ( >, < or = ) 1 and will most likely (sink/float).

[10]A plastic ball has amass of 125 grams.What must the volume be if it has a density of 0.500 g/cm3.

[11] Gold has a density of 19.3g/cm3. How many grams would 25cm3 of gold be?

[12] Iron has a density of 7.8g/cm3. If you had 445g of iron, how much space would it take up?

[13]Calculate the density of sulfuric acid if 35.4 mL of the acid weighs 65.14 g

[14] What volume of silver metal will weigh exactly 2500.0 g. The density of silver is 10.5 g/cm3.

[15] If the density of 45.0 cm3 block of wood is 0.65 g/ml calculate the wood’s mass.

[16] A bar of chocolate is cut in half, what happens to its density?

[17] An irregularly shaped stone was lowered into a graduated cylinder holding a volume of water equal to 14.0 ml. The height of the water rose to 19.0 ml. If the mass of the stone was 28.0 g, what was its density?

[18] If a peach has a volume of 130 cm3and sinks in water, what can you say about its mass?

[19] If a banana has a mass of 150 grams and floats in water, what can you say about its volume?

[20] An empty cup has a mass of 50g. When you add water to it the mass increases to 86g. What is the volume of the water in the cup?

[21] How many cubic centimeters are there in a cubic meter?

[22] 28.5 g of iron shot is added to a graduated cylinder containing 45.50 mL of water. The water level rises to the 49.10 mL mark, from this information, calculate the density of iron.

[23]A flask that weighs 345.8 g is filled with 225 mL of carbon tetrachloride. The weight of the flask and carbon tetrachloride is found to be 703.55 g. From this information, calculate the density of carbon tetrachloride.
