p1 - materials Flashcards
variables
independent - material being measured
dependent - density of the material
control variable - temperature
to find density of a solid you needs:
a balance
a displacement can (eureka can)
measuring cylinder
beaker
solid
finding volume of solid
set balance to 0
record name of solid and mass of solid
fill the eureka can with water until the water just starts to come out the spout
add solid to the eureka can
collect the water that comes out of the spout
amount of water displaced is the volume of solid
density equation
density (g/cm^3) = mass (g) / volume (cm^3)
to find density of a liquid you need:
a balance
a measuring cylinder
beaker
liquid
how to find density of a liquid
set balance to 0 and then add the beaker
find the volume of your liquid by adding it to the measuring cylinder
add the liquid to the beaker and measure the mass using the balance
