Name: _______________________________Date: ___________Period: ________

Pre-lab:

1. What is the equation for density?

2. What is the unit of measure for the density of a liquid?

Procedure; Part 1-Density of Water:

1. We will find the density of water as a class and compare.

2. Measure the mass of a graduated cylinder – Record this in your chart; include units.

3. Measure the mass of the graduated cylinder & water (your teacher has given you a specific

amount) – Record this in your chart. Include units.

4. Subtract the ‘mass of the graduated cylinder’ from the ‘mass of the graduated cylinder &

water’ to determine the mass of the water. Record this in your chart. Include units.

5. Measure the volume of the water in the beaker using a graduated cylinder. Record with units.

6. Find the density of the water, rounding to the nearest .01 g/mL. Record with units.

7. Obtain the class data when available and record in your chart. Be sure to include units.
