‘CHEM 108 Lab Experiment: Determination of Densities K. Gorzelska (updated Fall 2022) re Name: Wea Nias pence Name Nik Welnen Choe Paw Objectives Date l=! a) To determine the density of seawater. ) To determine density of unknown metal and identify that metal. Background Density is a ratio of mass per unit volume of a substance. Density is specific for the given substance (but only ifit is a pure substance) d=mv For example, the density of a gold coin and a gold bar are the same. A gold bar has much larger mass than a gold coin, but it also has proportionally larger volume. ‘Common density units are g/em? for solids, g/ml. for liquids, and gil. for gases. Density is an intensive property of matter. An intensive property does not depend upon how much matter is being considered and it can be determined without changing the chemical identity of the substance. As an intensive property, density is often used to identify an unknown material The density of water is exactly 1.00000 gicm? at 4°C, and is 0.9970 g/cm? at 25°C). Densities of liquids and solids range from less than 1 gic’ to 22.5 g/cm? for osmium the densest material known at standard pressure. In the first part of this experiment, you will determine density of seawater. In the second part, you will determine density of an unknown metal. You will use it to propose the identity of the metal by comparing the experimentally determined density value with metal densities listed in "CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics” or a table of densities from some other reliable source. In addition, properties such as color, luster, etc. + common sense, will be used to confirm identity of the metal.
