Density of pieces of metal (copper)
Some metal pieces (copper) provided are weighed on a balance (about 60g) and
the exact weight in gram recorded in Table 2, under mass (g) in column 2,
Rep #1.
A 100-ml cylinder is filled to about 50 ml of water and exact volume in ml is
recorded under the V₁ column, Rep #1.
The weighed metal pieces are immersed into the water in the cylinder.
The new volume of water in ml is recorded under the V₂ column in the data Table
2, which is the volume after immersing the metal pieces.
The change in volume of water (V₂ - V₁) is calculated and recorded (This is the
actual volume in ml of the metal pieces).
This procedure is repeated in the same manner to complete Rep #2 and #3.
Assignment
The theoretical data generated following the procedure outlined above are given
in Table 2 below. From these data, calculate the density and % error values and
enter in the last column blank spaces.
Density of metal pieces is calculated by dividing mass of metal by change in
volume, (g/ml)
The mean density values are calculated by adding the three replications and
dividing by 3.
The error % as compared to the standard density of copper, which is 8.5g/ml, is
calculated using the formula given under density of water measurement.
