Q

(regularly shaped objects) whjat piece of equipment is used to measure the object’s mass? what must you do before using it?

A

a digital balance, which should be seroed before placing the object on it to avoid a zero error.

Q

(irregularly shaped objects) explain how you should fill the displacement can to get the most accurate results.

A

fill the can until water starts to drip out of the spout and into the beaker. wait until the dripping just stops before submerging the object.

Q

(liquid) outline the basic steps of the practical.

A
  1. meaure the mass of the empty measuring cylinder
  2. pour around 100cm^3 of liquid into the cylinder and record the volume
  3. measure the mass of the cylinder with liquid in, and subtract the cylinder’s mass to calculate the mass of liquid
  4. calculate density from mass and volume

Q

(liquid) how does the density of solids and liquids compare?

A

in general, solids are more dense than liquids since their particles are more tightly packed together meaning there is more mass per unit volume.
