Experiment: Density of Liquids
Analysis Questions

Directions: Answer in complete sentences.

In your lab notebook, histogram the class data for the densities of Liquid A and Liquid B.
Differentiate the boxes for each liquid with different colors or shading, and indicate this with a Key.
For your horizontal axis, please use an interval width of 0.02 g/cm³ and count by odd numbers (i.e., 0.67, 0.69, 0.71, etc.).
Don’t forget to give your graph a title, and label both of your axes.
Once you’ve created your histogram, insert a clear photo of it in the space below.

Looking at your histogram of the densities of Liquids A and B, describe the overall pattern in the data for each liquid. What is the most frequent interval (i.e., the “tallest stack”) or what range of numbers describes the densities that most groups calculated for each liquid?

Looking at my histogram of the densities of liquids “A” and “B”, the overall pattern in the data for liquid “A” is that the interval between 0.79 g/cm3 and …show more content…

The first reason why we think is because when smelling it, it smelled like rubbing alcohol because it was very strong. The second reason is that the class average of 0.77g/cm3 and my individual density of 0.80g/cm3 are either the same or very close to the density of rubbing alcohol, which has a density of 0.80g/cm3.(Mineral oil also has a density of 0.80g/cm, but it is odorless, not like liquid “A”.

What is the identity of Liquid B? Explain with evidence.

The identity of liquid “B” is water. First, it smaller like nothing, it was odorless. Water is also odorless. Secondly, the average class density of 0.98g/cm3 and my individual density of 0.99g/cm3 are very close to the density of water, which is 1.00g/cm3z

Is density a characteristic property of matter? How do you know? Cite evidence from your own observations and the class data from this lab, and from the “Slice and Dice” Gizmo to back up your
