Properties of Matter

Option One

Instructions: Complete all sections of this report and answer all questions in complete sentences
for full credit.

Title:

Objective(s):

Hypothesis: None.

Materials: What scientific equipment and tools were used to collect data in the simulation?
(Record the materials as you work through the simulation.)

Part I Materials Part II Materials

Variables: Remember the three variables: controlled (what is kept the same), independent (what
is tested or changed), and dependent (what is the outcome or observed). List variables below as
you work through the simulation.

Type Part I Variables Part II Variables


Controlled Same graduated cylinder, triple Same graduated cylinder,
beam balance electronic balanced, initial volume
of water
Independent
Dependent

Procedure: Clear steps are in the simulation. No written procedure is needed for this virtual
experience. However, it is important that you understand the experimental design of this lab for
the conclusion section.

Data: Record your measurements below using the correct number of significant figures.

Note: Trial 1 has been completed for you as a model. You will still need to go through trial 1 in
the simulation. Record data for trials 2 and 3.

Part I: Density of Unknown Liquid Trial 1 Trial 2 Trial 3

Mass of empty graduated cylinder (grams) 25.80

Volume of liquid (mL) 8.45


Mass of graduated cylinder and liquid (grams) 36.75

Part II: Density of Irregular-Shaped Solid Trial 1 Trial 2 Trial 3

Mass of solid (grams) 38.951

Volume of water (mL) 52.0


Volume of water and solid (mL) 56.5

Calculations: Show all work and follow significant figure rules in each calculation below.

Part I: Density of Unknown Liquid

 Determine the liquid's mass: mass = (grad. cylinder and liquid) – (empty grad. cylinder)
 Determine the density of the liquid: density = mass ÷ volume.

Part I Calculations Trial 1 Trial 2 Trial 3


Mass of liquid 36.75 g – 25.80 g
= 10.95 g
Density of liquid 10.95 g / 8.45 mL
= 1.30 g/mL
Average density of the three trials

Part II: Density of Irregular-Shaped Solid

 Determine the solid’s volume: volume = (volume of water and solid) – (volume of water)
 Determine the density of the solid: density = mass ÷ volume.

Part II Calculations Trial 1 Trial 2 Trial 3


Volume of solid 56.5 mL – 52.0 mL
= 4.5 mL
Density of solid 38.951 g ÷ 4.5 mL
= 8.7 g/mL

Average density of the three trials

Conclusion

Using complete sentences, write a conclusion that addresses the following:

 The purpose of the lab, what you explored, what you learned
 An explanation of how densities were determined for liquids and solids
 A description of how uncertainty in measurements impacted your data collection

Post-Lab Connection Questions

Answer questions in complete sentences and support with data from lab.

1. Claim: Density is an intensive (does not depend on sample size) property of matter.
Explain how your data supports this claim with examples in your data.

2. Compare the density values for the liquid in Part I. The actual density of our liquid is
1.50 g/mL.
a. Are the density measurements of the liquid precise? Explain your answer.
b. Are the density measurements of the liquid accurate? Explain your answer.

3. Compare the density values for the solid in Part II. The actual density of our solid is 8.9
g/mL. What are some things you can do in the lab to improve accuracy of data
collection?
