  • Calculating Liquid Density: Understanding Mass and Volume
    You can't determine the density of a liquid with just its mass. Here's why:

    * Density is mass per unit volume. Density is a measure of how much mass is packed into a given space.

    * You need both mass and volume. To calculate density, you need to know the mass of the liquid *and* the volume it occupies.

    Here's the formula for density:

    Density = Mass / Volume

    To find the density, you would need to know:

    * Mass (already given as 95)

    * Volume (not provided)

    Example:

    Let's say the liquid has a volume of 25 cubic centimeters (cm³):

    Density = 95 grams / 25 cm³ = 3.8 grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³)
