Experiment 3G
I Purpose: To determine the density (grams/mL) of small metal objects by water displacement.
II Equipment/Reagents: Balance, 25 mL graduated cylinder, water, plastic pipet and small metal objects.
III Procedure: Tare the balance so it reads zero grams. add approximately five milliliters of water to the 25 mL graduated cylinder, and record the volume to the nearest tenth of a milliliter. Place on the balance and press the tare button to zero the balance. Remove the graduated cylinder from the balance and tilt it at an angle of about 45 degrees. Carefully add to it the small metal objects, making sure that no water is splashed out of the graduated cylinder. Place the graduated cylinder, water. and small metal objects on the balance and determine the mass of the small metal objects to the nearest hundredth of a gram. Record this value and the water level in the graduated cylinder to the nearest tenth of a millimeter. To find the volume of the small metal objects subtract the initial volume of the water from the final volume of water. Record this value. Find the density of the small metal objects using the formula:
Density = Mass/Volume Round your answers to the correct number of significant digits and write the answers in the correct units.

V Calculations:
(8.4 mL)-(6.0 mL)= 2.4 mL
(16.11 g)/(2.4 mL)= 6.7 g/mL
VI Results/Summary: The density of the small metal object is 6.7 g/mL.
