Volume Measurements and The Determination of Density
Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to determine the density of an unknown metal and an unknown liquid using the volume measurements with the weight measurements.
Procedure:
Determination of the Density of an Unknown Metal
An unknown metal sample was weighted on the quadruple beam balance
The graduated cylinder was filled with water about one-half full
The metal sample was gently slided down the side of the cylinder while holding the cylinder at a slighted angle
The cylinder was placed upright and the volume of the metal sample was calculated.
The volume of the metal was measured by noting the displacement of water in a 50mL graduated cylinder.
The density of the metal was calculated.
