Determination of Density of A Liquid

This document describes an experiment to determine the density of a liquid through volumetric measurement. The experiment involves weighing an empty graduated cylinder, filling it with a liquid and weighing it again to find the mass of the liquid, then measuring the volume filled to calculate density as mass over volume. Key steps are to weigh the empty and filled cylinder and record the liquid volume. Densities of water, oil and glycerin will be measured and the average and percent error calculated.

EXPERIMENT #1

DETERMINATION OF DENSITY OF A LIQUID


INTRODUCTION:

Density is an elementary physical property of matter. It is defined as the ratio of mass


to volume of a substance as shown in the following:

=

Numerically it represents the mass per unit volume of matter. The SI unit of density is
always expressed in the unit of kg m3 or g.cm3. As the temperature increases, the density of a
substance will be decreased, this will be discussed later in discussion. When thermal expansion
occurs, the volume of the substance increases while its mass is remained. By referring to the
formula given, the density of the substance decreases as the temperature increase. The density
of a substance is varies with the change of temperature at surrounding.

OBJECTIVE:
To determine the density of the liquid by volumetric method.

APPARATUS:
(a) Graduated cylinders
(b) Meter stick
(c) Liquid
(d) Weighing balance

SKETCH/ or LAYOUT:
PROCEDURE:
1. Weigh the empty graduated cylinder.
2. Get a liquid just enough to fill the graduated cylinder to its desired neck level.
3. Weigh the graduated cylinder with liquid in it.
4. Read and record the volume of the liquid.
