Densité. Rapport entre la masse d'un corps solide ou liquide, et la masse d'eau qui occupe le même volume à 4°C (à cette température, 1 kg d'eau a pour volume 1 dm³, soit un litre); sa masse volumique décroît légèrement quand la température augmente. 3, record 1, French, - densit%C3%A9%20s%C3%A8che
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 OBS
On ne doit pas confondre la masse volumique et la densité : cette dernière est le rapport (quotient) entre la masse d'un certain volume d'un corps avec la masse d'un même volume d'eau à 4°C. La densité, n'étant pas une grandeur mais un quotient, n'a pas d'unité propre. 3, record 1, French, - densit%C3%A9%20s%C3%A8che
