Calculations
Show all of your work for each of the following calculations and be careful to follow significant figure rules in each calculation.
Part I: Density of Unknown Liquid
1. Calculate the mass of the liquid for each trial. (Subtract the mass of the empty graduated cylinder from the mass of the graduated cylinder with liquid.)
 Trial 1- 10.5
36.5-26= 10.5
 Trial 2- 10.9
36.5-25.6= 10.9
 Trial 3- 10.7
36.7-26= 10.7
2. Calculate the density of the unknown liquid for each trial. (Divide the mass of the liquid calculated above by the volume of the liquid.)
 Trial 1: 1.22
10.5÷8.6= 1.22
 Trial 2: 1.26
10.9÷8.7= 1.26
 Trial 3: 1.26
10.7÷8.5= 1.26
Part II: Density of Irregular-Shaped Solid
3. Calculate the volume of the irregular-shaped solid for each trial. (Subtract the volume of the water from the total volume of the water and solid.)
 Trial 1: 6
57-51= 6
 Trial 2: 5
55-50= 5
 Trial 3: 6
58-52= 6
4. Calculate the density of the irregular-shaped solid for each
