1 A sealed 2500 cm3 flask is full to capacity with 0.36 g of a substance. Determine
the density of the substance. Would this substance be a gas, a liquid, or a solid,
explain.

2 Different kinds of wood have different densities. The density of oak wood is

generally 0.7 g/cm3. If a 35 cm3 piece of wood has a mass of 25 g, what is the
density? Would this piece of wood be a piece of oak? Explain your answer.

3 The density of pine is generally about 0.5 g/cm3. What is the mass of an 800 cm3
piece of pine? Would this float in water? Explain your answer.

4 A graduated cylinder is filled with water to a level of 40.0 cm 3. When a piece of

copper is lowered into the cylinder, the water level rises to 63.4 cm 3. Find the
volume of the copper sample. If the density of the copper is 8.9 g/cm 3, what is its
mass?

5 Some students were given a liquid that does not mix with water, they wanted to find out
if it will float in water and found the mass to be 65.17 g and its volume 35.4 cm 3.
Calculate the relative density of the liquid. Would this sink or float in water/ explain your
answer.
