INTRODUCTION
The traditional methods of conducting laboratory activities (assigned as Level 0) will not be able
to provide the avenue for students to enhance independent learning activities and inculcate
creativity and innovation. The traditional method is fully prescriptive where the three elements
namely problem, ways & means and answers are provided/fully given to the students.
BASIC CONCEPT
Density
Mass density is defined as the mass of material per unit volume (kg/m3). Therefore, to determine
density of a liquid it is necessary to determine the mass of a known volume of liquid. Density of
water can be obtained by using formula:
Specific Gravity
Specific gravity, also called Relative density, of a substance may be defined as the ratio of its
mass density to the mass density of water taken at atmospheric pressure at 4°C. Specific gravity
of liquid can be obtained using formula:
Viscosity
Viscosity is defined as the property of a liquid to resist shear deformation increasingly with
increasing rate of deformation. The density of ball can be referred to the equipment manual and
the density of liquid from the obtained density. Kinematic viscosity can be calculated by using
the following equation:
Density
Density is sometimes expressed by the dimensionless quantity specific gravity or relative
density. Thus, a specific gravity less than one means that the substance floats in water. In
general, density can be changed by changing either the pressure or the temperature. Increasing
the pressure always increases the density of a material. Increasing the temperature generally
decreases the density, but there are notable exceptions to this generalization. The group is
required to determine the density of THREE (3) types of liquid using beaker method and density
bottle method.
Specific Gravity
Specific gravity is the ratio of the density of a substance compared to the density of a reference
substance. Specific gravity varies with temperature and pressure; reference and sample must be
compared at the same temperature and pressure, or corrected to a standard reference temperature
and pressure. The group is required to determinethe specific gravity of THREE (3) types of
liquid using hydrometer.
Viscosity
Viscosity is a basic property of the fluid, although it can depend on temperature (in some cases,
quite strongly). Gases have much smaller viscosities than liquids. Glycerin, honey, and corn
syrup have much higher viscosities than water or alcohol. The group is required to determine the
viscosity of THREE (3) types of liquid using viscosity apparatus.
OBJECTIVE
The objective of this laboratory test is to determine the density, specific gravity and viscosity of
the given liquids.

PROCEDURE
Density
The apparatus for measurement of fluid density were measuring beaker, density bottle, and
weighing scale. Figure 1 and 2 show weighing scale apparatus, density bottle and measuring
beaker respectively.
ii. The beaker is filled with water to a certain volume and the volume data as accurate as
possible (considering the meniscus) is recorded.
iii. The beaker with water was weighed and its mass was recorded, (m2).
iv. The outside of the bottle was carefully dry with a cloth or tissue paper and any excess water
from the stopper was removed such that the liquid in the hole is level with the top of the
stopper.
v. Volume of water is 25mL when the water is level with the top of the stopper.
vi. The bottle with stopper and water is weighted and its mass was recorded. The mass of water
may be calculated by subtracting mass of empty bottle with stopper.
vii. The mass density was calculated.
viii. The above method was repeated using the given liquid in place of water.
ix. The specific gravity of the liquid was calculated.
Specific Gravity
The apparatus for measurement of fluid density were hydrometer and glass cylinders. Figure 3
below s hows hydrometer.
Figure 3 Hydrometer
iv. The scale was read after the Hydrometer has settled at the bottom of the free water surface
I.e at the bottom of the meniscus.
v. The reading was recorded and the hydrometer has been taken out.
vi. The procedure (step 3 to 5) was repeated three times.
vii. The above procedure must follow for other given liquids also.
viii. Specific gravities were compared of the given liquids.
Viscosity
The apparatus for measurement of fluid density are liquid substances, ball guide, measuring
cylinder, different diameter of balls and stopwatch. Figure 4 shows viscosity apparatus.

i. The cylinder is filled with liquid of approximately 100mL.
ii. The temperature of the liquids was measured using a thermometer and the reading was
recorded.
iii. The starting and ending point on the cylinder were marked to indicate the distance that is
used to determine the traveling time.
iv. The ball was dropped into the cylinder and pay attention to the starting and ending marks.
v. The traveling time of the ball was recorded and repeated several times for the same size of
the ball. The average reading was taken.
vi. Step (3) and (4) was repeated for different diameters of the ball and the traveling time was
recorded.
vii. The whole procedure was repeated for different liquids.

DISCUSSION OF RESULT
Based on the result, we obtained different value of data because the methods that we used
in this experiment. The water’s average density is 1160 kg/m3 and 1026.6 kg/m3 for 2 different
method, which is measuring beaker method and density bottle method, respectively. We can say
the different between these two values is because the absence of air bubble in the density bottle.
The average density for glycerin, by using measuring beaker method, is 928.6 kg/m3 while by
using density bottle method is 1271.3 kg/m3. We also can see the different in the values of
average density for dish soap which by using the measuring beaker, the average density is 746
kg/m3 and by using the density bottle, the value is 1066kg/m3. There are a few reasons that can
cause the difference such as temperature and absence of air bubble.
Others of fluid properties that we test for is specific gravity of three different liquids
which is water, glycerin and dish soap. We conducted this experiment of specific gravity by
using 3 different types of hydrometer to get the 3 reading and the average of the result for a
liquid and we can see the hydrometer sink a lot in denser liquid. Specific weight values that we
get from this experiment is 9810 N/m3 ,12458.7 N/m3 and 10398.6 N/m3 for water, glycerin and
dish soap respectively. The error that can affected the the result is human error in formula
calculation.
In this experiment, we already tested three different liquid for their fluid properties such
as density and specific gravity. Last fluid properties that we tested is viscosity. Formula that we
used to calculate the viscosity of the fluid is V (
gd 2 σ
18 v ρ )
−1 . We do the test three times using 3
different diameter, which is 4.0mm, 3.5mm and 3.0mm, of ball to get the average value of
viscosity for one type of liquid. The average viscosity for water is 3.24 x 10-4 m2/s while for
glycerin, the average viscosity is 8.06 x 10-3 m2/s and for dish soap is 2.98 x 10-2 m2/s.
CONCLUSION
