Science Calculators
Density Calculator
Enter mass and volume to calculate density in grams per cubic centimeter.
2.000 g/cm³
Density (equivalent to g/mL)
For reference: water is 1.0 g/cm³, so a density above 1 sinks in water and below 1 floats.
How to use this tool
- 1Enter the mass in grams.
- 2Enter the volume in cm³ or mL.
- 3See the calculated density.
Frequently asked questions
How do I know if something will float?+
An object floats in water if its density is less than water's (1.0 g/cm³), and sinks if it's greater.
