Making a Density Graph

Show how to graph the mass and volume data for a material and then how to use the slope of the line on the graph to calculate the density.

The density of a substance is its mass per unit volume. The symbol most often used for density is ρ (the lower case Greek letter rho), although the Latin letter D can also be used. Mathematically, density is defined as mass divided by volume.

To calculate the density divide the mass of the object by its volume. Volume is the amount of space an object occupies. Mass is the amount of matter an object contains.

This video helped me understand how to graph density. You did an amazing job. You helped me graph better than the teacher assistants do. I will definitely look for more of your videos!

Oh man I spent all night trying to figure out how to graph density and your vid helped me so much, I finished my work in 15mins. Thank you sooo much brother!

You helped me so much! Thanks for this amazing video!

[kaoriette]

so at 4:00 you can just choose any point as long as it’s close to your slope? why not any of the points you’ve already done

Thank you dude, greetings from Turkey. Salam!

Thank you this helps a lot does someone know how to find the y-intercept in density graphing ?

[arandomperson]

Thank you very much your chanel is a gift

I was actually doing absorbance instead of density. This made me freak out a bit cause it did everything right. Yet my Excel was going bugging out. I gotta pay attention more, lol. Also, thank you for the demonstration. This was really helpful

As a chem teacher - misconception that kids would have - need to calculate slope from two points, not just calculating at one point and comparing to calculation at another point. Slope is (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

I like ur video .Which software do you use yo make video ?

[maiyathorpe]

Hey say for instance the density is 10 do you put 1.0 or 10.0
