MTR241NIIL JANRUARY 2019 Lab Report No. 3 Density Determination 1

MTR241NIIL JANRUARY 2019 Specification : N/A Procedure : 1) Each sample was laid out on the table, evenly spaced out and a picture was taken of each sample individually with a pencil beside it for scale reference. 2) The dimensions of the sample were taken with the proper measuring devices to the nearest cm to two decimal places and was noted down on the chart provided. 3) The sample was then weighed on a scale to the nearest gram to two decimal places and was noted down on the chart provided. 4) The volume was calculated, and the results were recorded. 5) The density was calculated, and the results were recorded. 6) Steps 2-5 were repeated for each sample from #1 - #7 7) The sample was then put into a bucket which was above a bigger bucket of water and under an appropriate scale 8) The sample was submerged under water and the mass from the scale was recorded on to the chart provided. 9) The volume was calculated using the buoyant method and the results were recorded 10) The correct density was calculated, and the results were recorded. 11) Steps 7-10 were repeated for each sample from #1- #7 2
