Weight
Weight is the force that an object exerts on the ground due to gravity.
Math formula for weight: mass x gravity.
Units of weight: newtons.
Density
Density is a measurement of the amount of matter in a given space.
Math formula for density: mass / volume.
Units of density: kg/cm³.
pH
pH is a physical property that is a characteristic of matter.
Chemical Property
