what is density of water?
Answers
Answer:
The density of a material is defined as its mass per unit volume. It’s a measurement of how tightly matter is packed together. The density of a substance can be explained as the relationship between the mass of the substance and volume it takes up.
The Density of Water can be defined as:
It is the weight of the water per its unit volume, which depends on the temperature of the water.
Answer and Explanation:
Water is an odourless, tasteless, transparent, and colourless chemical substance, which is the main constituent of this planet’s lakes, oceans, streams, and the fluids of most living organisms. Density is the mass per unit volume of a substance. The density of water is 997 kg/m³.
Density of Water Experiment
To understand the density of water, let’s do a small experiment. We will need a tall glass cup, honey, water, coconut oil and food colouring,
Step 1: Pour a one-quarter cup of honey,
Step 2: Pour a one-quarter cup of coloured water gently on top of the honey.
Step 3: pour a one-quarter cup of coconut oil on top of the coloured water.
Now, you will notice that different substance has a different density, which means for the same volume different substances weigh differently, as they weigh differently heavier substances tend to settle at the bottom, like honey and lighter material like oil tend to float at the top.
