Procedure:
The procedure for this lab was taken from the lab manual below:
Block/McKelvy (2012). Laboratory Experiments for Chem 1211L & 1212L Cengage Learning (7th ed.), p. 5-19 (Measuring the Density of Ball Bearings/Density).
No changes occurred that were different from the procedure listed above.

    Chem LAB rEPORT LAB 2

    In this experiment, the experimenters found the density of solid objects and then the concentrations of solutions based on their densities. It was determined that as density increases, concentration does as well. The density of a substance is something that stays constant, for solutions of material the density is expected to increase in direct translation to the concentration increasing. The theory surrounding this lab was to see in practice how density could be determined with displacement and then to determine whether the density does in fact increase directly with the concentration.…

    Labratory Techniques and Measurments

    Part 2: I used a graduated cylinder on the tarred scale empty and then with both water and isopropyl alcohol to determine the mass of both and calculated their densities. Next, I measured the length, width, and height of a magnet to determine volume. I then used the water displacement method by filling a cylinder with water and then placing the magnet in and recording the difference in the water level to determine volume and density. Lastly, I used Archimedes’ method to by recording the mass of a metal bolt then placing it in water and observing the displacement. I then converted this to density of water and repeated with a magnet.…

    Constant Density: Displacement Of Zinc And Tin

    Density is the concentration of molecules within an object on relation to its size. The formula for measuring density is mass/volume. In the experiment preformed for this lab report, calculating the density of a regular object (a wooden block) and two other irregular objects (zinc and tin) were found by a process known as water displacement. The purpose of this experiment was to prove that the density of an object remains the same no matter how much of it you have.…

    Cognizant Of Mass And Volume Analysis Lab Essay

    In spite of the fact that density relates two distinct sorts of measurements, mass and volume, it bears a number of the attributes of the relative connections between mass standards that were detected in the lab. The densities of the water, seawater, methanol and pennies were obtained by calculating the ratios of their mass and volume values found in the experiment conducted. The two trials were conducted to acquire mass and volume measurements for all of the…

    - Each liquid that was used in Part I has its own independent density. Density being the relationship between the mass and volume of a substance. In this portion of the lab we explored relative density, each liquid compared to the others. The corn syrup was the most dense, in comparison to the other liquids. Whereas the vegetable oil was the least dense compared to the other liquids. The liquids in between followed this same principle in their respective orders.…
