Question
a. What two quantities must you
measure to determine the density of
a substance?
b. Design and explain a procedure
for determining the density of a small
piece of rock (an "irregular" solid).
c. If the rock in letter b has a density
of 2.75g/mL and a mass of 15.3g,
what is its volume? Make sure to
show all work and include the final
unit. Will the sample float or sink in
water? Explain.
d. Design and explain a procedure
for determining the density of an
unknown liquid.
e. If the unknown liquid in letter
e has a volume of 5.0mL and a mass
of 1.95g, what is its density? Make
sure to show all work, use significant
figures, and include the final
unit. Will the sample float or sink in
water? Explain.
