Physical and chemical properties may be intensive or extensive.
Characteristic Properties
are...
properties that do not
change with changes in
mass or volume
examples include:
density

Units for Density
Mass is measured in Grams (or related term)
Volume is measured in Litres
Density is a combination of terms

Density
Density compares the mass of an object to its volume
D = mass = g or g volume mL cm3

Learning Check D1
Osmium is a very dense metal. What is its
density in g/cm3 if 50.00 g of the metal occupies a volume of 2.22cm3?
lecturePLUS Timberlake 19
Solution
2) Placing the mass and volume of the osmium metal into the density setup, we obtain
D = mass = 50.00 g = volume 2.22 cm3

Volume Displacement
A solid displaces a matching volume of water when the solid is placed in water.

Learning Check
What is the density (g/cm3) of 48 g of a metal if the metal raises the level of water in a
graduated cylinder from 25 mL to 33 mL? 1) 0.2 g/ cm3 2) 6 g/m3 3) 252 g/cm3
lecturePLUS Timberlake 22
Solution
2) 6 g/cm3
Volume (mL) of water displaced
= 33 mL - 25 mL = 8 mL Volume of metal (cm3)
= 8 mL x 1 cm3 = 8 cm3 1 mL
Density of metal =

To find the density
1- Find the mass of the object
2- Find the volume of the object
3- Divide Density = Mass

Problem A piece of copper has a mass of
57.54 g. It is 9.36 cm long, 7.23 cm wide, and 0.95 mm thick. Calculate density (g/cm3).

Strategy
1. Get dimensions in common units.
SOLUTION
1. Get dimensions in common units.
2. Calculate volume in cubic centimeters.
3. Calculate the density.
0.95 mm • 1cm
10 mm = 0.095 cm
57.54 g
6.4 cm3 = 9.0 g / cm
3
(9.36 cm)(7.23 cm)(0.095 cm) = 6.4 cm3

The Melting Point
Why?
Salt causes the ice to melt faster.
Salt (and other substances) lowers the freezing point of water -- the water has to be colder to freeze

Hydrogen Bonding
Polarity means smallnegative charge at O end
Small positive charge at H end
– When water reaches 0oC, water becomes locked into a crystalline lattice with each molecule bonded to the maximum of four partners.
– As ice starts to melt, some of the hydrogen bonds break and some water molecules can slip closer together than they can while in the ice state.
– Ice is about 10% less dense than water at 4oC.

The Tip of the Iceberg
Which is less dense - water or ice?
Density of Water
Most dense at 4oC
Contracts until 4oC
The Density of Water
1. Prevents water from freezing from the bottom up.
2. Ice forms on the surface first—the freezing of the water releases heat to the water
below creating insulation.
3. Makes transition
between seasons
