PROBLEM: How can we determine the densities of different substances?

PART 1 Determining relative density procedure

1. Designate an eyedropper for each beaker. Do not mix them up when you

experiment or your results will be off!

2. Use the test tubes for experimenting (do NOT use the beakers for the

tests). You will design several different experiments to compare the

densities of the liquids and answer the questions posed in the chart. You

may mix and match the different liquids in the test tubes as you please to

arrive at your answer. Record your procedure for each experiment in the

"what I did" column. Record your results (what you saw) in the "what I

observed" column Be specific of what you did first, next, and so on so

that anyone in the class could follow exactly what you did and get the

same results.

WARNING--you barely have to use any liquid to get results. These

experiments are sensitive. When adding liquid to a test tube hold the test

tube at an angle and add the liquid drop by drop. Don't just squeeze out the

entire eyedropper at once

TIP- it is sometimes difficult to see the color of the liquid when you are

using so little of it. By holding a white sheet behind the test tubes you will

be able to more easily see your results.

3. After completing each experiment dump the test tube liquid into the sink.
