| Chemistry Graphs: Density |
Density is defined as the ratio of the mass of a given sample of a substance (M) to its volume (V). It is usually measured in units such as kg/m 3, g/cm 3, or g/mL.
Use the following graph of Volume vs. Mass to answer the next three questions.

|
| As the volume of a sample increases from 200. mL to 300. mL, does the mass increase or decrease? |
| According to this graph, what is the density of the substance being studied? |
Based on the information provided in the chart below, what substance was represented by the data displayed on the graph? The densities are measured in g/mL and the small letters represent the state of the substance at room temperature: solid, liquid, or gas.
