Particle Model of Matter Required Practical

Density Practical

1

Equipment Setup

1. Weigh and record the mass of the irregular object using a balance
2. Place a Eureka can with the spout over a measuring cylinder
3. Fill the beaker with water
4. Allow any excess water to drain out of the spout, into the measuring cylinder
5. Empty the measuring cylinder, then put it back under the spout of the eureka can

Measuring Volume

1. Place an irregular object into the Eureka can
2. Allow the displaced water to drain into the measurinf cylinder, the volume of water displaced will be equal to the volume of the object in the water
3. Measure and record the amount of water accumulated in the measuring cylinder
4. Use the equation: Desity= Mass/Volume
