Density Formula

Today we are going to discuss the formula of Density which is very often used in chemistry or physics. First of all, let us define what density is.

What is density?

Density is defined as mass per unit volume. In another word, density of any substance is given by the following density formula.

What is the density formula?

or D equals m divided by V where D stands for Density, m stands for mass, and V stands for Volume.

What is the unit of density?

The density of a solid is measured in grams per cubic centimeter or g per cm ³ ( g/cm ³) because the mass of a solid is measured in grams and volume is measured in cubic centimeter.

The density of a liquid, however, is often measured in grams per milliliter or g per mL or (g/mL) because the mass of a liquid is still measured in grams but the volume of a liquid is measured in milliliter.

That's it! If you want to find the density of any substance, just divide its mass in grams by its volume in cubic centimeter or millimeter.
