Density of Liquids - Powerpoint

The document discusses density and how it relates to liquids and objects. It defines density, explains that denser liquids and objects sink while less dense ones float, and lists factors that affect density such as temperature. An experiment is described where different liquids and objects are layered based on their densities.

Density of Liquids

And
Objects
By
Grade: 5-3
Density: Meaning
 Density is amount of matter in a specified area, i.e. measure of
mass per unit of volume.
 Density tells us how tightly the matter is packed together.
 The unit of Density is x grams/m^3.
 The average density of an object equals its
TOTAL MASS / TOTAL VOLUME.
 Heavier objects/liquids have a high density.
 Lighter objects/liquids have low density.
Different Liquids - Different Densities
 All liquids have different densities due to their different
masses.
 Liquid weighing heavier is higher in density and will sink
to the bottom under all the other liquids with lighter
density.
 Liquid weighing lighter has a low density and will sit on
top of the liquids that are higher in density.
Factors affecting Liquid/Object Density
The 4 factor affecting the Density of Matter are:
 State of Matter, 
 Air Pressure, 
 Temperature and
 Geometry of solid/liquid molecules
Effect of Temperature on Liquids
Density
 Temperature is an important factor that affects the liquids
density.
 As liquid temperatures increases, density decreases.
 When temperature increases of liquid, the molecules
slightly speed up and spread further apart increasing
volume that results in a decrease to the density.
 Cooling a liquid causes the molecules to slow down and
get tightly packed together, occupying smaller volume
that results in an increase to the density.
Density of water decreases as the temperature increases.
Different Objects- Different Densities
 The density of an object depends on the weight of the
object.
 If the object is heavier, it has a higher density.
 If the object has a higher density, then it will sink to the
bottom of a liquid that has a lower density than the object.
 If the object is lighter, then the object has a lower density.
 If the object has a lower density, then the object will float
on top of a liquid that has a higher density than the object.
Effect of Temperature on Object Density
 The density of an object depends on the temperature of the
object.
 For two same objects at different temperatures (one
warmer and the other one cold), the densities are different
 Increasing the temperature of object increases the volume,
decreasing the density.
 The warmer object is less dense (more volume) while the
cold object is denser (less volume) than the warm object.

Instructions:
1. Pour equal amounts of each liquid in the cups, I used 50 ml
of each liquid.
2. Start by pouring the pancake syrup into the glass beaker
slowly.
3. Then pour the dishwashing liquid, followed by water, and
finally the vegetable oil slowly.
4. Wait for some time for every liquid to settle down on basis
of different densities.
5. Now to test the different densities of objects, release the
objects one at a time into the glass beaker gently to pass
through the liquid layers at different spots to avoid turbulence
in the liquids and note down the results.
Materials Required:
 4 small plastic cups to store liquids used in project
 1 long glass beaker
 Water – 50 ml
 Vegetable Oil – 50 ml
 Pancake syrup – 50 ml
 Dishwashing liquid – 50 ml
 Small objects (kidney beans, lego piece, button, coin,
chickpea, plastic hollow cylindrical toy, Foam sponge)
 Paper and Pen to record your results
Expectations:
 The liquid with higher density will sink to the bottom with
layers of liquid on top in the order of decreasing density.
 Solid objects with higher densities will sink to the bottom.
 Objects with lighter density will float on liquid layer of higher
density than object.

Conclusions/ Findings:
 The pancake syrup was the densest liquid of all liquids
involved in experiment.
 The Liquid layers settles in the order of depending on their
density:
o Pancake Syrup
o Dish Washing Liquid
o Water
o Vegetable Oil
 The Metal Coin was denser than other objects and settles at the
bottom of all syrup.
 Foam Sponge being less dense stays on top of vegetable oil.
 Other objects moved through different layers of liquids
depending on their densities.
