Objectives:
1. To identify the relative densities of some common liquids and solids.
2. To determine the densities of water, an unknown liquid, a rubber stopper, and an unknown rectangular solid.
3. To determine the thickness of a piece of aluminum foil using the density concept.
4. To practice proficiency in performing the following experimental procedures: pippeting a liquid, weighing by difference, and determining a volume by displacement.
Apparatus:
Tall glass cylinder, glass marble, rubber stopper, cork, 125-mL Erlenmeyer flask with stopper, 150-mL beaker, 10-mL pipet, pipet bulb, 100-mL beaker, rubber stopper, unknown rectangular solid, aluminum foil ~10 x 10cm, 100-mL graduated cylinder, rectangle
