Mass and temperature --> density?
« on: October 14, 2008, 09:13:33 PM »
Hi guys,


If I know the mass of water and the temperature of water, how do I find its density??

Can you measure the volume?

No. We're finding the density via mass and temperature so that we can find the volume of the flask we put the water in :(

Look it up in a density table?
I mean, I can come up with equations that have been empirically measured for density as a function of temperature, but that seems a little silly to me for your case.

Yeh, like enahs said.  There is a table that tells you the density of water.
Such as, 24 degree celsius ==> 1.0036 g/mL, 25 degree celsius ==> 1.0037 g/mL, etc.

Then with the density and the mass, you will be able to calculate the volume.
