ACTIVITY 1 MEASUREMENTS IN SCIENCE: MASS‚ VOLUME‚ AND DENSITY Purpose: The purpose of this experiment is find the density of two metals using their mass and volume. Introduction: The purpose of the experiment that was conducted was to measure and calculate the density of two different metals. Density is an important characteristic of a material. The density of an object shows how much mass is contained in the unit volume. To calculate the density of metals the experimenters had to find out the mass

SCIENCE Density Calculate density‚ and identify substances using a density chart. Density is a measure of the amount of mass in a certain volume. This physical property is often used to identify and classify substances. It is usually expressed in grams per cubic centimeters‚ or g/cm3. The chart on the right lists the densities of some common materials. EQUATION: Densities of Substances Substance Density (g/cm3) Gold 19.3 Mercury 13.5 Lead mass density ϭ ᎏ volume

Determination of Density Abstract: The purpose of the experiment was to determine if density is an intensive or extensive property of matter. The experiment proves that density is an intensive property. The density of an object remains the same no matter how much of it is present. The density is an intensive property because mass and volume changes at the same rate. Introduction: This experiment was designed to determine if density is an intensive or extensive property. The density of an object

The layers of Earth How do scientists know what is in the center of the earth? How can we know what the core of the earth is made of‚ if scientists have never studied any materials from a depth below 7.5 miles? Earth is approximately 4.6 billion years old‚ and over this time period‚ many things have changed inside and out. The formation of our planet is quite amazing. Earth consists of multiple layers. The three most distinct or main layers are the core‚ mantle and crust. The inner portion is

Joshua Berkebile 8-26-10 1st period Density Lab The purpose of this lab was to find the mass‚ the length‚ the width and the height of 4 different cubes so we could calculate the volume and density of them. We also had to find the density of irregular shapes by dropping them into a graduated cylinder than subtracting the starting water volume by the ending water volume. Density is how much mass is in a certain volume of matter. Volume is the amount of room that an object

Purpose The goal of this lab is to find out which metals were used in the minting of pennies before and after 1982 by calculating their densities. Hypothesis If the penny was made after 1982 then its density will be higher than those made before 1982. Materials • 1 Graduated cylinder • 30 mL of water • 10 pennies minted before 1982 • 10 pennies minted after 1982 • 1 electric scale Procedure The mass of ten pennies minted before 1982 was calculated five times using the scale and then

Introduction: Density is defined by its mass per unit volume‚ and is most often written in mathematical terms as; d = m / v Mass is usually given in grams‚ g‚ and volume is given in cubic centimeters‚ g/cm3‚ or‚ grams per milliliter‚ g/mL. Density is not a property that depends upon the amount of substance present. For example‚ one gram of lead and one ton of lead have the same density. Density also does depend on temperature. For instance cold water is denser than warm water;

Determining the Density of Plastics 1) Introduction ⦁ a) Purpose: Determine density of different plastics ⦁ b) Hypothesis: If density is related to the ratio of mass to volume‚ then density can be calculated by using the formula D=M/V. i. c) Background: Density is the physical property that can be used to help identify substances. D=M/V. mass= found using a balanc and labeled in grams and volume=graduated cylinder or taking ( lxwxh ) measured in mL or cm3 2) Materials ⦁ a) List -graduated

Physics 01L Density Abstract This experiment was conducted in order to determine the density of the Aluminum metal samples provided in the lab. Specific tools such as the vernier caliper and balance scale were used to measure and record the values found. Given that density is a measurement of mass over volume‚ both of these quantities would have to be determined experimentally‚ prior to proceeding with the calculation of the density‚ for each of the six subjects
