Name Date Lab: Denisty – Solids and Liquids Part 1: Density Background Information: The density of an object is how much “stuff”‚ or molecules‚ a substance is made of. Density is how tightly packed the molecules are. To calculate the density of a substance we need to know the mass (weight) of the substance and the volume (how much space) of the substance. Mass is determined by weighing an object. Volume of regular shaped objects is calculated by measuring

The density of fractions 1‚ 2‚ and 3 are as follows: 1.49‚ 1.325‚ and 1.34 g/mL. These values areincorrect because the density should not have been over 1.0 g/mL. This is because the density of water is 1.0 g/mL‚ and the product should have had a mixture of ethanol and water‚ making the density lower. The measured weight of the vials and ethanol were incorrect due the scales.There are many factors that can cause a scale not to read the correct value. The first is the airflow underneath the weighing

Report Determining the Density of Various Liquids and Solids The purpose of this experiment is to determine the weight (density) of certain liquids and solids in chemistry. These liquids include; Water‚ Hexane‚ Carbon Tetrachloride‚ and solids include; Copper‚ Zinc‚ Lead and‚ Aluminum. It’s important to know the weight of these products so you can properly conduct experiments and make clear observations. Different techniques will be used to determine these densities and one in particular is

Matt R Results & Analysis Part 1: 1.) To determine the density and composition of a penny it must be first weighed on a scale. Find the average mass of multiple pennies from the same year. After weighing it find the volume by placing the pennies into a 50 ml beaker with 15 ml of water. Note the change in volume to obtain the volume of the pennies‚ obtain the average volume‚ and then calculate the density by dividing the mass of the penny by the volume. 2.) To keep measurements accurate and precise

Measurement of the Densities of Water and Alcohol Phuc Truong and Shane Steele Data Collected: September 8‚ 2014 2:05 P.M. Purpose: The purpose of the experiment is to measure the densities of liquids. Specifically‚ the two liquids that were used and measured in the research were deionized water (H2O) and alcohol (C2H5OH). Methods: Density is an intensive quantity that cannot be visually identified. Therefore‚ the most straightforward approach to this problem was to record the measurements of mass

The Density Challenge: A Complete Inquiry Activity Introduction Density has been an important part of science for a very long time. Density was discovered by Archimedes‚ a Greek mathematician‚ around 250 BC while determining whether a craftsman had replaced some of the gold in the King of Syracuse’s crown with silver. Density is the compactness of a substance. The new concept of density he discovered was used to expose the fraud. The purpose of this experiment is to make

important questions from Hydrostatics: i. Why is it easier to lift a body in a liquid than in the air? ~ We know that‚ Upthrust =Density of fluid*acceleration due to gravity*Immersed volume of the body From the realtion above‚ it is clear that upthrust given by a fluid to a body is directly proportional to the density of the fluid. Also‚ as a matter of fact‚ the density of air is less than that of liquid. So‚ the liquid provides greater amount of upthrust than the air does. This implies that a body

Abstract The purpose of this experiment was to identify whether density is an extensive or intensive physical property. By using water displacement‚ the volumes of the paper clip samples were measured and the masses were obtained by using an electronic balance. Each mass and volume was unique to their sample so by using their values‚ density was used to identify substances in the lab. After conducting the experiment‚ the results showed that there was a positive slope between the different paper

Population Density Debra Smith OMM 612 Managing Social Change Prof. Martin Cain September 24‚ 2012 Population Density According to Social Indicators Research (2002) population density is “the number of people living per square kilometer in the district of the city where the respondent lived” (Social Indicators‚ proquest database). The American population is very dense. According the United States Census Bureau the current United States population is 314‚440‚872 people. In some areas of
