Experiment For this experiment, The weight of a graduated cylinder (10mL) was taken by the scale. 4 mL of water was poured into the first graduated cylinder and then weighed. The volume of the water was 10.06g/mL and was written down. Next, the mass of was calculated and written down. In order to figure out what the mass was, the weight of the cylinder (42.16g) subtracted by the weight of the cylinder by itself (37.85g). Lastly, the Density of the water needed to be calculated. In order to determine density, use D=M/V and the density was written down. Next, the density of the mineral oil was taken. In order to figure out the density of the mineral oil 3 mL of water was poured into the second 10 mL graduated cylinder along with 3 mL of mineral oil and was weighed. The mass was also found by subtracting the mass of the graduated cylinder and water from the cylinder with water and the oil. The objects of a cube rectangular solid,sphere, and cylinder were used during this experiment. The densities needed to be calculated. In order to figure this out, the weight was recorded by putting the objects on a balance scale. Also, each object had a specific equation to help figure out the volume. The 100 mL graduated cylinder was weighed by putting it on the balance scale. After pouring water inside of the graduated cylinder, that was also weighed. Next there was a metal that was used and the weighed. The weight of that metal was 14.59 grams. After figuring out the weight of the metal, it was put into the graduated cylinder with the water. After doing this the mass of the metal was found. Discussion The experiment was very easy to follow and easy to understand. Because we knew how to calculate the density, volume and mass of objects and liquids it was easy to do. The identity of the unknown
