Document Summary

The properties of a material may be described in many ways. If you have two containers of water that are different sizes, they each hold a different amount, or volume, of water. The unit for volume is a unit derived from the si unit of length and is not a fundamental si measurement. If two water samples have different volumes, they still share a common measurement: the density. Density is another measurement derived from si basic units. The density of a material is defined as its mass per unit volume. Each volume of water is different and therefore has a specific and unique mass. The mass of water is expressed in grams or kilograms, and the volume is measured in liters, cubic centimeters, or milliliters. Density is calculated by the dividing the mass by the volume, so that density is measured as units of mass/volume, often g/ml.
