EXPERIMENT-1

DENSITY OF LIQUIDS

PREPARED BY BURAK COBAN

PURPOSE:

In this experiment we will learn how can we find the density of liquids and liquids of density how change effect of temperature, pressure, mass, volume and concentration. For this reason we will take NaCI solutions with different concentrations and we will measure their densities, so we will find out the effects of concentration on density of solutions.

THEORY:

Density is a physical property obtained by dividing the mass of a material or object by its volume (i.e., mass per unit volume). Here is an old riddle:” What weighs more, a ton of bricks or a ton of feathers?” if you answer that they weigh the same, you demonstrate a clear understanding of the meaning of mass- a measure of quantity of matter. Anyone who answers that the bricks weigh more than the feathers has confused the concepts of mass and density. Matter in a bricks is more concentrated than in a feather – that is, the matter in brick is confined to a smaller volume. Bricks are denser than feathers. Density is the ratio of mass to volume.

Density= Mass (m) / Volume (V)
|Density of matter | d | g/ml |
|Mass of matter | m | g |
|Volume of matter | V | ml |

The SI base unit of mass and volume are kilograms and cubic meters, respectively, but chemists generally express mass in grams and volume in cubic centimetres or millilitres. The most commonly encountered density unit, then, is grams per cubic centimetre (g/cm3), or the identical grams per millilitre (g/ml).

The mass of 1.000 L of water at 4 0C is 1.000 kg. The density of water at 40C is 1000g/1000 ml=1.000 g/ml. At 20 0 C, the density of water is 0.9982 g/ml. Density is a function of temperature because volume



References: ( | (0,9972-0,9948)| / 0,9972 ) *100 = 0,24 % d = m / V d = 41,052 / 41,2 = 0,9964 Percent Error : ( | 0,9955 –0,9964| / 0,9955) *100 = 0,09 % 3.

    Archimedes a Greek mathematician in the third century B.C. originally determined the relationship between the amount of matter that is within a particular space. He used this knowledge to determine if a crown made for the King was in fact made of pure gold, which as happens was not. He discovered such knowledge when he realized that the volume of an object could be determined by the displacement of the liquid. Density is a property that will be consistent for any substance. For pure substances it is the same concept as concentration. For solutions of material density increases as the concentration increases. Many substances can be found by density alone, and concentration can be identified if the density is known.…

    Density is the concentration of molecules within an object on relation to its size. The formula for measuring density is mass/volume. In the experiment preformed for this lab report, calculating the density of a regular object (a wooden block) and two other irregular objects (zinc and tin) were found by a process known as water displacement. The purpose of this experiment was to prove that the density of an object remains the same no matter how much of it you have.…

    The purpose of this experiment is to compare the different densities of different liquids. Density is a comparison between an object's mass and volume. Density = Mass divided by Volume. If the weight (or mass) of something increases but the volume stays the same, the density has to go up. If the mass decreases but the volume stays the same, the density has to go down. This experiment will show how the weight of certain liquids react to each other.…

    Throughout lab one we were introduced to many different forms of measurement, whether its using a ruler too measure length, a digital scale to measure weight, and also many different sized and shaped flasks to measure different volumes. Another key measurement of this lab was to teach the student about density and how to measure it. Density tells us that it is defined as the mass per unit measure, in which as we know is most oven referred to as volume and is also used to describe how heavy something is. We were also required to calculate many different measurements do to the number of moles that one substance might have due to the amount of material/solution we are currently working with.…
