Density of Water Formula

The density of water is calculated using the normal density formula,

D = M/V

where,
D is the density of the water
M is the mass of the water
V is the volume of the water

We know that,

At room temperature, if the volume of water is 1 ml then its mass is observed as 0.995 grams. Now the density of the water is,

D = mass/volume

   = 0.995/1
   = 0.995 g/ml = 0.995 g/cm3

Density of Water

Density of water is the ratio of the mass and volume of the water at room temperature is 998.2 kg/m3. The density of any substance is defined as the amount of mass present in the unit volume of the given substance. 

For pure water, the density is 1 gm/cm3 or 1000 kg/m3. Pure water’s density varies with temperature and reaches its highest point at a temperature of 4 °C, or 1000 kg/m3

The density of water is maximum at 4 °C.

What is the Density of Water?

The term “density” refers to how much volume (space) an object or substance occupies in relation to the amount of material it contains (its mass). Another way to think of density is the amount of mass per unit of volume. An object with a high density is solid and compact. The SI unit of Density is kg/m3 and g/cm3 in the CGS system. It is an intrinsic property of matter....

Density of Water at Room Temperature

At room temperature i.e. at the temperature of 20 °C to 25 °C the density of the water is 0.9982 g/cc, or 998.2 kg/m3.
