DENSITY HOMEWORK Density of a solid - Record the color of the sample on your data sheet using a pen, NOT a pencil. - Color: dull gray - Mass: Weigh the solid on a balance and record its mass on the data sheet. - Mass: 9.6854g Volume of a solid: determined by displacement. - Put about 40ml of water in a 100ml graduated cylinder. - Record the exact volume of the water. (MENISCUS) - Then carefully slide the solid into the water and record the new volume. The volume of the solid is the volume of the water + the solid (39.7mL) - the volume of the water alone (38.5mL). - Volume of the solid: 39.7mL38.5mL= - Density of the solid: = mass/volume = Answer: What is your unknown solid?
