Using proper units is important when recording data. In this lab, you determined three properties of the objects: mass, volume, and density. What are the units for each property?

Question

The units used for mass were
grams/cubic centimeter
.

The units used for volume were
.

The units used for density were
.

Answer 1

In your lab, the units for each property are as follows:

• The units used for mass are grams (g).
• The units used for volume are cubic centimeters (cm³) or milliliters (mL) (as 1 cm³ is equivalent to 1 mL).
• The units used for density are grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³) or grams per milliliter (g/mL).

So, to summarize:

• Mass: grams (g)
• Volume: cubic centimeters (cm³) or milliliters (mL)
• Density: grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³) or grams per milliliter (g/mL)
