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

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

Lab No.1: density‚ accuracy and precision Aim: to determine the relative precision and accuracy of different glassware items by calculating the density of a known substance. Introduction: the density of a substance is its mass per unit volume. (where P-density‚ m- mass and v- volume). Different materials usually have different densities and densities vary according to the pressure‚ temperature and purity of a substance. When measuring‚ there is always a small uncertainty or error and therefore

Alcohol Lab Data Conclusion Objective: The objective of this lab was to find the concentration of an unknown alcohol solution. Procedure and Data: We found the masses of 10.00 mL of each of the known concentrations of alcohol (minus the beaker mass) by placing the beaker onto the scale‚ zeroing the scale‚ and then pouring alcohol into the beaker‚ repeating for each different concentration solution. Then‚ using the same method‚ we found the mass of 10.00 mL of the unknown concentration. We recorded

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

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

Experiment: determination of densities Introduction The density of a sample of matter represents the mass contained within a unit volume of space in the sample. For most samples‚ a unit volume means 1.0 ml. The units of density‚ therefore‚ are quoted in terms of grams per milliliter (g/ml) or grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm3) for most solid and liquid samples of matter. Density is often used as a point of identification in the determination of an unknown substance. The density of the unknown might

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
