Density
• Is the ratio of mass per unit of volume. How much matter is packed into a given amount of space
• Density = mass/volume
• D= m/v
• The Density of a substance stays regardless of the size of the sample. For example: if you cut a block of copper in half, you have decreased both the mass and volume, the ratio of the 2 stays the same. This is called an Intensive Physical Property.
• The Density of a substance stays constant regardless of the size of the sample. For example: if you cut a block of copper in half, you have decreased both the mass and volume, the ratio of the 2 stays the same. This is called an Intensive Physical Property.
• The appropriate units of density are:
• for solids• for liquids
• The appropriate units of density are:
• g/cm3 for solids• for liquids
• The appropriate units of density are:
• g/cm3 for solids• g/mL for liquids

Reliable Measurements
• Accuracy refers to the closeness of the measure value is to the accepted, or real, value.
• Precision refers to how close a series of measurements are to one another.
• is calculated by subtracting the value from the value.
• Error is calculated by subtracting the experimental value from the accepted value.
• The is the ratio of an error to an accepted value.
• The percent error is the ratio of an error to an accepted value.
% error = error x 100 = accepted value – experimental value x 100 accepted value accepted value
