Experiment Title
Density Determination
Initial Statement:
The experiment was performed in order to determine the different densities of various objects. ... The density of tap water, deionized water, isopropyl alcohol and an unknown liquid were determined using a volumetric pipette and a digital balance scale. In order to determine the density, the following equation was used, D= Mass/Volume and V=ð2h. ...
The density of the four liquids was obtained with a number of procedures. ...
13) The liquid that had the highest density was the unknown sample. ... Archimedes discovered a useful way to determine the volume which would lead to the density of irregular objects by measuring the mass and then measuring it again after submerging it in water. ... This result can also be repeated with the wooden block by comparing the wooden block to the density of tap water. ... This also holds truth when comparing two objects that have a higher density. A higher density is a result from atoms that are made of more mass. ... It was easy to see the difference by comparing the value of density relative to each object being measured. ... This could have had an affect on the liquids and measuring more to their mass which could affect their density. ... When the metal cylinder was dropped in, the extra drops of water added volume and as a result the density would decease. ... As a result, the volume would increase and the density would decrease. ... This would affect the volume causing an error in the geometric measurements and therefore causing an error in the calculation of density.
