Clean up:

Please set up your station exactly how it was when you came in.

•

Leave alone the beakers of solutions A, B and C

•

Rinse out the three small test tubes and return them to the rack.

•

Rinse out the graduated cylinder

•

Clean up all spills and toss all paper towels in the trash

•

Return all objects

•

Conclusions:

Look back at your density values of the liquids and the density values of the wood block.

Compared to the density of liquid A, the density of the block is

(more

than/less than/ the same) and, therefore, if placed in liquid A the block would

(float, sink, hover in the middle) in the liquid. Compared to the density of liquid A,

the density of the fishing lure is

(more than/less than/ the same) and

therefore if placed in liquid A the fishing lure would

(float, sink,

hover in the middle) in the liquid.

2. Below is a beaker containing all three liquids that have been layered. Color in where you

would expect to find each layer and label the solution.

Solution ____

3. Draw on the diagram above a square to show where the block would be located. Draw in

a circle to represent the fishing lure.

Calculations

If the mass of a substance stays the same, but its density decreased, the volume

would have had to have _________(increased/decreased)

If the volume of a substance is constant, but its mass increases, its density will

_______(increase/ decrease/stay the same)

Your earth science teacher gives you a bar of clay and asks you to calculate its

density. She then instructs you to cut the bar in half and again calculate its density.

Is the density of the half bar of clay GREATER THAN, LESS THAN, or EQUAL TO

the density of the whole bar?

Explain your answer.

4. Mercury, a liquid at room temperature, has a density of 13.55 g/ml. Calculate the mass

of a 50-ml sample of mercury. Show how you are setting up your equation. Circle your

answer.
