Question

Transcribed Image Text:What to do: Fill one bottle to the brim with oil, do the same with the other bottle but with vinegar then tightly seal
the bottles with its cap. Predict what will happen to the two bottles if you put them in the aquarium that is filled
with water. (If there is no aquarium available you may have a basin filled with water).
Guide Questions:
1. Do they have the same volume?
2. Do you think they have the same mass? Why?
3. Now when you put the two bottles in the aquarium filled with water, what did you observe?
4. Which of the two liquids (oil or vinegar) is denser?
5. Did the shape of the bottle container affect the density of the substances inside?

- Bird bones have air pockets in them to reduce their weight—this also gives them an average density significantly less than that of the bones of other animals. Suppose an ornithologist weighs a bird bone in air and in water and finds its mass is 45.0 g and its apparent mass when submerged is 3.60 g (the bone is water light) a. What mass of water is displaced? b. What is the volume of the bone? c. What is its average density?arrow_forward3. Now you will design a pressure receptor. First, draw a circle on a piece of paper and then draw two or three lines from the center to beyond the perimeter of the circle. Imagine that the circle represents a balloon and the lines are threads, which are attached to the surface of the balloon. How would blowing into the balloon, to increase the pressure of the air inside, affect: a. The size of the balloon? b. The threads attached to the surface of the balloon? c. Imagine that the threads are the terminals and axons of sensory neurons. If the terminals are sensitive to stretch, what will happen to the frequency of the action potentials in the axons as the pressure inside the balloon is changed?arrow_forwardYou have three objects of varying shapes and sizes: Object 1 is a rectangular block of tin.

- The density of a ring that may be silver, platinum, or a white gold alloy is being measured. Its mass under dry conditions is 4.29 g. In water at 20 °C having a density of 0.998 g/cm³, the mass is found to be 4.09 g. Think & Prepare 1. To find the density of an object you need its mass and volume. How can you accurately determine the volume of the ring? 2. How can you use the weightloss of the ring in water to determine the volume of the ring? What is the density of the ring? ✓ g/cm³ For comparison with the final answer (no need to enter an answer for this comparison), density of gold = 19.3 g/cm³ density of platinum = 21.45 g/cm³ density of silver = 10.49 g/cm³ density range of alloy = 14.7 g/cm³ to 16.9 g/cm³arrow_forward#3arrow_forwardICE ANOTHER Alloys of gold are rated in karats, a dimensionless unit that is used to indicate the proportion of gold by weight in a gold-containing alloy. If an alloy is one part in twenty-four pure gold, then it is classified as one karat gold. The density of gold is 19.3 × 103 kg/m3. Determine the volume of gold in a 23.0 karat gold necklace that has a weight of 1.63 N. m3 Additional Materials O Readingarrow_forward
