Key Stage 3
Meaning
Grams per centimetre cubed (g/cm3) is a unit of density.
About Grams per Centimetre Cubed
- Grams per centimetre cubed are shortened to g/cm3 with a lower case g, c and m and an indices of 3.
- Grams per centimetre cubed are often used in the laboratory because small quantities of chemicals are generally used; masses in grams and volumes in centimetres cubed.
- There are 1000 grams per centimetre cubed in one kilogram per metre cubed.
- Water has a density of roughly 1g/cm3.
- Anything with a density greater than 1g/cm3 will sink in water and anything with a density less than 1g/cm3 will float in water.
Converting to Grams per Centimetre Cubed
| Unit | To convert | Grams per Centimetre Cubed |
| 1 gram per centimetre cubed | To convert x 1 | 1 g/cm3 |
| 1 kilogram per metre cubed | To convert x 1000 | 1000 g/cm3 |
Key Stage 4
Meaning
Grams per centimetre cubed (g/cm3) is a unit of density that is 1000 times smaller than the SI Unit; kilograms per metre cubed.
