    1. The volume of the cylindrical object is 7.948 cm3 based on its dimensions. It is most likely made of aluminum which has a density of 2.7 g/mL, matching the object's mass and volume. 2. The volume of liquid in the graduated cylinder shown is 7.8 mL by estimating beyond the cylinder's accuracy. 3. The densities calculated from displacement volumes were close but not exactly equal to accepted values, likely due to measurement limitations. Displacement volumes are more accurate than calculations relying on dimensions.

    The key takeaways are methods to calculate volume and density of different materials through either knowing dimensions or using displacement. Densities of common materials like aluminum, PE, iron, water and salt solutions are also provided.

    The densities of aluminum, PE, iron, water and a salt solution were calculated using either known dimensions to find volume or the displacement method. Calculated densities were close but slightly lower than accepted values likely due to measurement errors.

    The saturated salt solution was found to be 0.12g/mL denser than water which matches the prediction that it would be denser. This difference was expected but the amount of 0.12g/mL was slightly more than anticipated.

    1. A cylindrical object has a diameter of 1.25 cm and a height of 6.48 cm. What is its volume?

    Be
    sure to provide units and express your answer to the correct number of significant figures.

    7.948 cm^3

    2. The object in question 1 has a mass of 21.535 g. What metal is the cylinder most likely made
    of? Why?

    Aluminium because they have the same density. In addition when you do 2.7 X 7.948 it equals
    21.535.

    Metal: Density (g/mL): Metal: Density (g/mL):

    Aluminum 2.7 Magnesium 1.7

    Copper 8.9 Platinum 21.3

    Gold 19.3 Silver 10.5

    Lead 11.3 Zinc 7.1

    3. What is the volume of liquid in the graduated cylinder shown below? Be sure to read the
    bottom of the meniscus and estimate the volume to one decimal place beyond the accuracy of
    the cylinder.

    7+0.2(4)= 7.8 Volume is 7.8

    1. Calculate the volumes of the samples used in Procedure step 2. Record the calculated
    volumes in Table 2.2. Why could we not find the volume of the bolt by this method?
    We couldn't find the volume for the bolt because we have no information about its dimensions.
    Due to us having no dimensions there was no way for us to figure out the volume.

    2. How did you find the volume of the PE rod using the displacement method? Note: 1 cm3 = 1
    mL. Because PE floats, push the rod under the water with a very small object, such as a pin,
    and volume of the pin is negligible and can be ignored
    I found the volume by using the formula pieR2H=Volume. I then multiplied 3.14, 1.7, and 10.5
    together to get 112.098

    3. Except for the bolt, note the difference between the calculated volumes and the volume
    found by the displacement method. Which method is more accurate? Why
    The displacement volume was more of finding a pattern then making an equation off that. The
    calculated volume is more accurate because there is no guessing in numbers, and we
    understand the exact numbers to use.

    4. Use the volumes found by displacement to calculate the densities of the objects. Record your
    data in Table 2.2.
    (Bolded in chart)

    5. The accepted values for density are: aluminum = 2.71 g/cm3 ; PE = about 0.925 g/cm3 ; and
    iron = 7.87 g/cm3 . Compare your values from Question 4 with these. How do they compare?
    Why are they different? Note: the density of different kinds of PE and PVC vary because of the
    difference in the arrangements of their molecules.
    My answers are very similar to the densities above. For aluminum and PE my results were lower
    by about .10. However; my iron was lower by about 2 g/cm. I believe that I got different results
    because of the volume, and equations. In addition not every single place is going to have the
    same exact results.

    Water 50 77-27=50 50/50= 1

    Saturated Salt 50 83-27=56 56/50= 1.12


    Solution

    6. Calculate the densities of the liquids in Table 2.3. The accepted density of water is 1 g/ cm3 .
    How do your results compare? Remember that 1 cm3 = 1 mL.
    The saturated salt solution is .12 more dense than the regular water.

    7. How does the density of water compare with the density of the saturated salt solution? Is this
    what you would have predicted
    The saturated salt solution is .12 more dense than the water, and this is what I predicted. I
    figured that the water with salt would be more dense, however I thought it would be a little more
    dense than by .12.

    9. Width of room 3.37 m
    10. Height of room 2.35 m
    11. Volume of room 31.83 m3
    12. Mass of air in room 41.06 kg

    13. Are you surprised by the mass of air in the room? Explain.
    I am a little surprised because I know air is gonna have more mass because it can change
    shape, and condense into small areas, however I figured there was going to be a little more
    mass.
