Student: Keila Dukuze Date: Feb/10/2013 Lab# 3 Section: 110 Pre-Lab 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

INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background of the Experiment Mass density describes how heavy an object is. Defined by the Greek letter ρ‚ read as rho‚ density is a basic yet important physical property of matter. For a bulk body without accounting its existing pores and voids‚ density is represented by the ratio of its mass and volume. It is given by the equation ρ= massvolume 1. The SI unit of density is kg/m3. However‚ its CGS units‚ g/cm3 or g/ mL‚ are the most commonly used ones in the laboratory. The

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

I. Introduction A. Purpose The purpose of this lab was to practice measuring the mass and volume of different samples and to calculate the density and specific gravity of those samples using the measurements. B. Equipment 1. Electronic balance- The electronic balance is a device used to measure the exact mass of an object 2. Graduated cylinder- The graduated cylinder is a tool used to measure the volume of a liquid 3. Pipets- Pipets are small tubes that suck up and contain liquids C. Technique

DENSITY OF LIQUIDS AND SOLIDS by Lab instructor: Due date: Results and discussion: The purpose of the experiment was to determine the densities of the unknown liquid and solid as precisely and accurately as possible in order to identify them. It was carried out first on distilled water in order to rule out systematic errors. A 10 mL beaker was placed on a top pan balance and “tared”. The beaker was then removed and 10 mL of distilled water was pipetted into it before it was placed

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

Density (Linearized plot) TA: Blue Rex rex Group Members: Billy and Mandy Tuesday; 1200-1350 Abstract: In this lab the density of hand-made clay balls were calculated to understand how scientists model physical effects and to understand logarithmic plots. The hand-made balls ranged from diameters of 2cm to 6cm and were measured with vernier calipers by each member of the group. A total of 6 independent measures of each diameter were taken to establish uncertainty. The clay balls were then
