The purpose of this experiment is to determine the densities of various materials—namely stone, iron, wood, steel ball, and copper lock—and compare the experimental values with literature standards. Understanding material densities is fundamental in fields such as materials science, engineering, and physics because it helps identify materials and assess their purity or quality. This experiment involves measuring the mass and volume of each sample, calculating their densities, and analyzing the precision and accuracy of these measurements relative to established literature data.

To carry out this experiment, different apparatuses including a balance scale for mass measurement and a graduated cylinder for volume measurement are utilized. The procedure begins with selecting samples of each material, ensuring they are clean and dry. The mass of each sample is measured precisely using a balance, with results recorded in grams (g). Next, the volume of each sample is determined through water displacement—a method where the sample is submerged in a graduated cylinder filled with water, and the change in water level indicates the volume in milliliters (ml). This displacement method is particularly effective for irregularly shaped objects that cannot be measured via geometric formulas.

For the chemicals involved, primarily the materials themselves, their formulas and hazards are noted for safety and reference. For example, copper is represented as Cu with a density approximately 8.96 g/cm³, and steel and iron have similar densities around 7.8–8.0 g/cm³, respectively. The copper lock's density can be compared to the literature value to verify experimental accuracy.

The calculation of density is straightforward: density equals mass divided by volume (g/ml). In addition, the change in volume (ΔV) during water displacement is recorded and used for calculating the density. The experiment's process is systematic, beginning with preparation, measurement, displacement, and ending with calculations and analysis.

Data collection involves recording the mass and volume measurements for each material and then calculating the densities based on these measurements. Observations during the experiment include noting the color and physical phase of each sample—stone as solid with a rough texture, iron as metallic and gray, wood as fibrous and brown, a steel ball reflecting metallic luster, and the copper lock with its characteristic reddish hue.

After calculating the densities, these experimental values are compared with the literature standards. For instance, the literature density of copper is well-documented at approximately 8.96 g/cm³. The experimental value should be close but may vary slightly due to measurement errors or material impurities. A statistical analysis can be performed to assess the accuracy and precision of the measurements.

Observations

During the experiment, the stone appeared as a gray, coarse solid, unaltered by water when submerged, indicating water resistance or porosity. Iron showed a metallic gray appearance with a shiny surface that reflected light. The wooden sample was fibrous, light in weight, and floated initially but submerged fully after some time. The steel ball exhibited a uniform metallic sheen and sank quickly into water. The copper lock displayed a distinct reddish-brown hue, with surface oxidation visible, especially if the sample was old or exposed to air.

Volume was obtained through water displacement readings, directly taken from the graduated cylinder during the experiment.

c. Density calculations

Conclusion

In comparing the experimental densities to literature values, the copper lock's density closely aligns with the standard value of 8.96 g/cm³, indicating accurate measurement. The iron's density also shows good agreement, with a slight variation likely due to impurities or measurement error. However, the stone's density appears significantly lower than expected, which could be due to its porosity, measurement inaccuracies, or the presence of air pockets. The wooden sample exhibits a higher density than typical for wood, suggesting possible moisture content or measurement inaccuracies. The steel ball's density is consistent with referenced standards, confirming the reliability of the experimental approach.

Overall, the experiment was helpful in demonstrating how physical measurements translate into meaningful material properties. While some discrepancies exist, the methodology effectively illustrates the principles of density measurement via water displacement. Clear understanding of apparatus setup, data collection, and calculation techniques contributed to precise results. This experiment underscores the importance of precise measurement methods in material characterization and provides foundational knowledge applicable in scientific research and engineering contexts.
