Temperaturedensitylab

This document describes a temperature density lab experiment with three parts. In part one, cold blue water sinks below room temperature water, while hot red water floats above, because cold water is denser and sinks while hot water is less dense and floats. In part two, the order is reversed with hot water sinking below cold water for the same reason. In part three, dense yellow salt water sinks below both cold and hot water due to its high density from dissolved salt. The lab illustrates that heating increases and cooling decreases density by changing how close or spread out molecules are.

Temperature Density Lab

Key Concepts:

Heating a substance causes molecules to speed up and spread slightly


further apart, occupying a larger volume that results in a decrease in density.
Cooling a substance causes molecules to slow down and get slightly closer
together, occupying a smaller volume that results in an increase in density.
Hot water is less dense and will float on room-temperature water.
Cold water is more dense and will sink in room-temperature water.

Materials:
1- lunch tray

red , blue, and yellow food coloring

1- 400 mL beaker

400 mL tap water

2- 250 mL beakers

150 mL ice water (add blue coloring)

1- glass stirring rod

150 mL hot water (add red coloring)

1- plastic container

1- wooden block or item to prop up

75 mL salt water (add yellow food coloring)

Gather all supplies


Prop plastic container up on one side (about 45 degree angle)
fill container with 400 mL tap water
fill first beaker with 150 mL COLD water, add Blue food coloring and stir.
Fill second beaker with 150 mL HOT water, add red food coloring and stir.
Begin part 1 of lab experiment.
After part 1 is complete, dump out container and repeat steps 2 and 3.
Complete part 2 and part 3 of lab experiment
Cleanup

PART ONE: Cold-Hot

1. Slowly Pour approximately 75 mL of the BLUE COLD liquid across the upper
edge of the water line from left to right. OBSERVE.
2. Slowly Pour approximately 75 mL of the RED HOT liquid across the upper edge
of the water line from left to right. OBSERVE
3. Color container diagram according to what you see. Explain what is
happening with regards to DENSITY.
PART TWO: Hot- Cold
1. Slowly Pour approximately 75 mL of the RED HOT liquid across the upper edge
of the water line from left to right. OBSERVE
2. Slowly Pour approximately 75 mL of the BLUE COLD liquid across the upper
edge of the water line from left to right. OBSERVE
3. Color container diagram according to what you see. Explain what is
happening with regards to DENSITY.
4. DO NOT DUMP
PART THREE: Hot- Cold- Salt
1. Slowly Pour approximately 75 mL of the YELLOW SALT WATER across the
upper edge of the water line from left to right. OBSERVE
2. Color container diagram according to what you see. Explain what is
happening with regards to DENSITY.
3. DUMP, RINSE, and return all lab items.

Questions:
1. How does temperature affect density?
2. Which liquid was more dense, the Yellow salt water, or the Blue Cold
water?
3. Explain the relationship between density and mass.
