True
What is the actual density of pure water at 25 degrees Celsius?
What is the actual density of pure water at 25 degrees Celsius?
1.0 g/mL
How can you tell if a liquid is more or less dense than water?
How can you tell if a liquid is more or less dense than water?
If the density is over 1.0 g/mL, the substance is more dense than water and will sink. If under 1.0 g/mL, it will float.

Study Notes
Density Overview
- Different materials, like copper and gold, can have the same weight but differing densities.
- The density of pure water at 25 degrees Celsius is 1.0 g/mL.
Density Comparison with Water
- Substances with density greater than 1.0 g/mL sink in water.
- Substances with density less than 1.0 g/mL float in water.
Experiment Objectives
- Learn to properly use a balance scale.
- Practice calculating the density of various materials through different methods.
Definition of Density
- Density is the mass of a material divided by its volume.
Water Density Values
- Water's density at 25 degrees Celsius is 1.0 g/mL.
- Water's density at room temperature is approximately 0.9970 g/mL.
Measuring Mass and Volume
- Mass is measured using a balance in grams.
- Volume is measured using a graduated cylinder.
Measuring Metal Slug Mass
- Use a balance to determine the mass of a metal slug after recording its identification number.
Liquid Density Determination
- Measure the mass of a graduated cylinder when empty and when containing an unknown liquid.
- Calculate the mass and volume of the liquid to find its density.
Solid Density Determination
- Record the mass of the unknown metal using a tared weigh boat.
- Measure the change in water volume after adding the metal to find the volume displaced and calculate density.
Density Calculation Formula
- Density can be calculated using the formula: D = m/v (Density = mass/volume).
