Marble Density Lab

This isn t as complex as you may think because water s density is 1 gram per cubic centimeter or 1 g cm 3.

Marble density lab.

Simultaneously drop the marble and start the stopwatch. The densities of various substances are given in table 1. Introduction written using a past tense prose structure lab group. Because of this the density is often used to identify unknown substances or to determine the percent composition.

Record the name of the liquid you tested the original height of the liquid and how long it took for the marble to fall in seconds. Density of aqueous solutions of organic acids changes in density of aqueous solutions with changes in concentration at 20 c. Stop the timer when the marble touches the bottom of the cylinder. The densities of rocks and minerals are normally expressed as specific gravity which is the density of the rock relative to the density of water.

Density of marble hard bulk is equal to 1 602 kg m. Solids density g cm3 lead 11 37 silver 10 57 copper 8 92 brass 8 90 nickel 8 57 iron 7 90 aluminum 2 67 marble 2 60 2 84 granite 2 65 rubber 1 10 1 19 oak 0 80 pine. Marble hard bulk weighs 1 602 gram per cubic centimeter or 1 602 kilogram per cubic meter i e. Therefore these numbers translate directly to g cm 3 or tonnes per cubic meter t m 3.

Marble solid weighs 2 711 gram per cubic centimeter or 2 711 kilogram per cubic meter i e. Mayleen mori jeffrey joseph mary robert and lynnleen albert. Density is a basic physical property of a homogeneous substance. Marble is a metamorphic rock that forms when limestone is subjected to the heat and pressure of metamorphism.

Repeat the experiment 2 more times for each liquid so there is enough data to take an average. Density of marble solid is equal to 2 711 kg m. Lesson 2 the nitty gritty of density by teresa kennedy page 14 16 density station data sheet page 17 liquid layers lab sheet page 18 lesson 3 wet goes up must come down by cory patterson page 19 21 wet goes up must come down lab data sheet page 22 lesson 4 density is in the air by tiffany teresa and cory page 23 26. Density of acetic acid citric acid formic acid d lactic acid oxalic acid and trichloroacetic acid in water is plotted as function of wt mol kg water and mol l solution.

It is an intensive property which means it depends only on the substance s composition and does not vary with size or amount. Introduction to density introduction the purpose of this experiment is to understand the meaning and significance of the density of a substance. It is composed primarily of the mineral calcite caco 3 and usually contains other minerals such as clay minerals micas quartz pyrite iron oxides and graphite under the conditions of metamorphism the calcite in the limestone recrystallizes to form a rock that is. 006 sample laboratory report.
