Unit 2 – Introduction to matter
Monday October 2nd – DrillCoroner’s Report
A coroner is examining the body of a murder victim. He finds some matter that he believes might be important in solving the crime.
What are 5 characteristics that the coroner could use to identify this matter?
Matter
• Occupies space
• Has mass
• Has inertia
Describing Matter - 1
• Mass – how much matter in an object. Basic metric unit is gram
Describing Matter - 2
• Density – how well matter is packed into the volume that it takes up:
Density = mass ÷ volume
Compare two things that have the same mass. If one takes up more space (has more volume), it is less dense.
Describing Matter - 3
• Composition – what kind of matter is in an object. Is it powdered sugar or cocaine?
Describing matter - 4• Physical state (solid, liquid, aqueous & gas)
A measure of how much energy matter has. When matter has less energy it is a solid, when it has more energy it is a liquid or even a gas.
Describing Matter - 5
• Reactivity To what degree an object will react
chemically to its surroundings. i.e. iron will rust but stainless steel will not.
Today: Density Notes
Formula for density: D = mass ÷ volume
Units (for our labs) are usually grams per milliliter or g/mL
Soon we’ll learn how to convert g/mL to kg/L and g/cm3
* 1 g/mL = 1kg/L = 1 g/cm3
Density Problems – find density
• What is the density of a dead body that has a mass of 50,000 grams and occupies a volume of 10,000 mL?
• d = m ÷ v
• ddead body = 50,000/10,000 = 5 g/mL
Density Problems – find mass
• What is the mass of a dead body that has a density of 5 g/mL and occupies a volume of 8,000 mL?
• d = m ÷ v therefore m = d x v
• mdead body = 5 x 8,000 = 40,000 g
Density Problems - find volume
• What is the volume of a dead body that has a density of 5 g/mL and a mass of 90,000 g?
• d = m ÷ v, therefore v = m ÷ d
• vdead body = 90,000 ÷ 5 = 18,000 mL

Density Lab
Let us read it together now.
Prepare charts in your lab notebooks. Read lab directions to determine how to set up your charts.
You will be graded on their clarity and organization!
Remember precision write up is due! Questions?
