Density

Name:
Density
Detailed information:
Mass per unit volume expressed in grams per cubic centimeter for solids and liquids, and usually as grams per liter for gases. Densities of some common substances follow:
	g/cc	g/L
sulfur	2.06
aluminum	3.7
sodium	0.967
glycerol	1.27
water*	1.0
chlorine	3.214
carbon dioxide		1.977
air**		1.293
oxygen		1.429
hydrogen		0.0899
*Basis of comparison for solids and liquids. **Basis of comparison for gases. For discussion of density vs. specific gravity, see specific gravity. Apparent density is the mass of a unit volume of powder, usually expressed in grams per cubic centimeter, determined by a specified method (MPA definition, MPA Standard 9–50T). Bulk density is an alternative term for apparent density.See Current Density.
