Devin Nunez 7th hour Lab Report

In one experiment, I learned how to find the density of a regular solid object. Also, I learned how to find the mass of any liquid. In another experiment, I learned how to determine the relationship between the mass and volume of a liquid, compare the densities of 2 liquids, and plotted points for each liquid on a graph and compared the the lines connecting each set of related points. In the last experiment, I learned how to find the volume of an irregular object using water displacement.

To find the density of a rectangular object, we first measured the length, width, and height, then multiply to find the volume. Next, we massed your object with the balance and record it in a data table. To determine the density we divided the mass by the volume and record it in a table as well. We were sure to use the correct units in each recorded measurement in the data table. Block 1: Length- 7.9 cm Width- .8 cm Height- .8 cm Volume- 5.1 cubic cm Mass- 4.5 g Density- .88 g/cubic cm Different blocks have different density because they are different materials. The unit for the density of a solid is g/cubic cm. If you were to measure a refrigerator you might use kg/cubic meters. If you were measuring a sugar cube you would use mg/cubic mm.

To find the mass of water we needed a graduated cylinder and to find its mass with the balance. We needed to mass cylinder because you cant just pour water on the tray of the balance. We needed to fill the cylinder with 10 mL of water and find its mass. Now we subtracted the mass of both the cylinder and water from the mass of just the cylinder. Now we have the mass of the water alone. Amount of Water-10 mL Mass of Cylinder and Water-146 g Mass of Dry Cylinder- 136 g Mass of Water Alone- 10 g

The mass of 1 mL of water is 1 g. 1000mL of water would be 1000 g. You must be careful when you pour the water and measure the mass.

To find the density of 2 liquids, we first found the mass of the dry graduate cylinder with the balance. Next, we poured the 2 mL of the first liquid into the graduate cylinder. Then, we found the combined mass. We repeated these last 2 steps for each new volume. To determine the mass of each volume of liquid we used the data from those 2 steps. We averaged the mass and volume by adding them and dividing by the number of volumes. Last, we used the formula D = M/V to calculate the density of the liquids. Alcohol: Mass of graduate-27.3 g Mass of liquid and graduate-28.8 g Mass off alcohol- 1.5 g Volume of alcohol- 2 mL Density of alcohol- .8 mL Average mass- 5.2 g Average Volume- 6 mL Average density- .9 g/mL

To find the volume of an irregular object, we first filled or graduated cylinder with a good amount of water. Then, we slowly lowered our objects into the water until submersed. We observed how much the water had risen and subtracted the starting volume from the post submerged volume. This is the volume of the object. We recorded our observations. Object-Silver Screw Beginning water level-50 mL Ending water level-56 mL Volume of object 6 mL
