Density of Water

Method:

1. Measure mass of empty measuring cylinder using a balance.

2. Measure mass of liquid and measuring cylinder.

3. Subtract 1 from 2 to calculate the mass of the liquid.

4. Measure volume of liquid by using the measuring cylinder (Note: measure to the bottom of the meniscus)

5. Calculate density (p = m/V)

Results:

1. M_cylinder
= 58.5g

2.M_{cylinder+liquid}
= 83.2g

3.M_liquid 

= M_{cylinder+liquid}-M_cylinder = 83.2 - 58.5 = 24.8g

4.V=25ml = 25cm³

5.p=m/V = 24.8/25 = 0.992 = 1
