You need to find its mass. If your volume is in cm^-3 then your mass should be in grams and if your volume is in m^-3 your mass should be in kilograms. However this is only for solids and liquids. If you are measuring the density of a gas, the volume should be in dm^-3 and mass in grams.
Once you have the mass sorted out, put the values into this simple equation:
Density (d) = mass (m) / volume (V)
d=m/v
That should give you the density of the chemical

∙ 14y agoThe density of a substance is defined as its mass per unit volume. When you know the mass 'M' and the volume 'V' of a specimen, its density 'D' is just D = M / V

What measurements must be known in order to find the density of a substance?
To find the density of a substance, you need to know its mass and its volume. The mass is usually measured in grams or kilograms, while the volume can be measured in cubic centimeters or milliliters for solid objects, or in liters for liquids. By dividing the mass by the volume, you can calculate the density of the substance.
How do you find volume if density and volume are given?
v= m/d v is volume m is mass d is density
How are mass and volume related when determining density?
Density is directly related to the mass and the volume. In fact, it tells us of the exact relationship between the two. To find an object's density, we take its mass and divide it by its volume. If the mass has a large volume, but a small mass it would be said to have a low density
How do you find volume with only density and mass?
Look up the density of the substance and divide the mass by the density to find volume.============================In order to use the method in the first answer, you must know the substance.But the question says clearly that only the massis given. In that case, it'snot possible to find the volume.
How do you find DENSITY If only mass and volume is given?
You can't. In order to calculate a density, you need a mass and a volume.
How do you find mass when density is only given?
The relation between mass(M), density(ρ) and volume(V) is given by: M = ρ x V. So mass can be calculated only if both density and volume are known. Density is a measure of amount of substance per unit volume, so mass can't be calculated until the volume of substance is known.
Does the density of a substance depend on mass and volume?
yes, to find the density, you do mass divided by volume
How does on find mass when given density and volume?
Multiply them: density*volume = mass
How do you find the mass of an object when given the volume?
Volume = mass / density
If you know the density and volume of a substance how could you find its mass?
density is mass divided by /volume so mass is density times volume
What things must you know to find the density of a material?
To find the density of a material all you need to know is the mass and volume of the substance. if you knw the mas and volume...finding out the density is very simple...all you need to do is mass/volume and you will have the density of that substance!
How can I find the mass if only the volume and density are given?
Density = (mass) divided by (volume)Mass = (Density) times (volume)

How many gallons are there in 250kg?
You cannot associate weight with volume without knowing the density. If you find this out, then Density is mass/volume
How do you find the mass of an object when you are given the volume and density of the object?
You can find the mass of the object by multiplying volume and density.
How do you find the mass when the voulme and density is given?
Density = mass/volumeMass = (density) x (volume)Volume = mass/density
Explain how to find the density of a substance?
divide its mass with its volume
