1. Calculate density of water with formula. Show your work (2 points)

D= M/V 14g/3.1ml = 4.51
D= M/V 25g/3.1 ml = 8.06g/ml
2009 by Prof. Ozkan

Page 3

D= M/V 36g/3.1 ml = 11.61g/ml

D= M/V 47g/3.1 ml = 15.16g/ml
D= M/V 58g/3.1 ml = 18.70g/ml

2. Calculate density of water from slope. Show your work. (2 points)

3. The metric system is designed so that the density of water is 1.00 g/mL (real value).
Calculate the percent error for both densities of water values, which you have determined
through your experiment. Show your work.

QUESTIONS
1.

For two samples of different substances with the same volume. Would the samples
with the greater mass be denser or would it be less dense than the one with the smaller?
Explain. (1 point)
Less dense since it weighted less

2.

Consider two samples of the same substance, one with the greater volume than the
other: (2 points)
a. How the masses of two samples compare? Mark you answers.
(1) Same
(2) Greater the volume greater the mass
(3) Greater the volume less the mass
b. How the densities of the two samples compare?
(1) Same
(2) Different

3.

For two samples with the same mass, would the samples with larger volume (larger
size) be denser or would it be less dense than the one with the smaller volume. Explain. (1
point)

4.

Consider two samples of the same substance, one with a greater mass than the other:
(2 points)
a. How do the volumes of the two samples compare? Mark you answers.
(1) Same
(2) Greater the mass greater the volume
(3) Greater the mass less the volume
b. How do the densities of the two samples compare?
(1) Same
(2) Less
(3) Greater

5.

What happens to the volume of a loaf of bread that is squeezed? The mass? The
density?
(2 points)
The mass will remain the same since nothing is remove, now is less will be less since
shape has been compress and volume too.

6.

Why the ball of clay sinks? (1 point)

2009 by Prof. Ozkan

Page 5

It was too dense and its shape made it more vulnerable to sink since its dimension was
circular.
7.

Describe how you got the clay to float. Explain why? (Hint: Refer to your lab
information pages) (2 points)
By Shaping its shape to a boat, since the ball shape will make it sink

8.

Which of the coke cans was less dense, why? (1 point)

Both were about the same but the diet coke was more less dense since it floated
