experiment was to determine the density of an object by measuring its mass and volume. Hypothesis When the rubber stopper is dropped into the overflow can‚ the volume displaced (mL) will be equal to the number of grams of the rubber stopper. I think this will be the outcome because I learned before that 1g=1ml‚ so for every gram dropped into the overflow can‚ 1 ml should be displaced (the volume). Therefore I think the density of each rubber stopper would be 1g/ml. Materials - 5 different rubber stoppers
