    This laboratory report describes an experiment to determine the density of common liquids - water, oil, and dishwashing liquid. The experiment involved measuring the mass and volume of 50mL samples of each liquid. The density was then calculated as the mass divided by the volume. The results found that water had a density of 0.966 g/cm3, oil had a density of 0.904 g/cm3, and dishwashing liquid had the highest density of 1.018 g/cm3. The purpose was to obtain density measurements for use in a subsequent experiment on liquid viscosity.

    The experiment aimed to determine the density of common liquids like water, oil and dishwashing liquid by measuring their mass and volume.

    The liquids used in the experiment were water, oil and dishwashing liquid.

    The steps to determine density were to measure the mass of an empty graduated cylinder, pour 50mL of liquid and measure its combined mass, subtract to find mass of liquid, then divide mass by volume to calculate density.

    OBJECTIVE(S)
     Students would be able to determine the density of the liquid.

    INTENDED LEARNING OUTCOMES


     To determine the density of the common liquid (water, oil, dishwashing
    liquid.

    DISCUSSION
    Density is defined as the mass per unit volume of a fluid. Every fluid has its
    corresponding density. In this experiment we used water, oil and dishwashing
    liquid. We will get their corresponding mass and volume so that we can get their
    density.
    PROCEDURES
    1. Find the mass of an empty graduated cylinder in grams.

    2. Pour 50 mL of water into the graduated cylinder. Try to be as accurate as


    possible by checking that the meniscus is right at the 50-mL mark. Use a
    dropper to add or remove small amounts of water.

    3. Weigh the graduated cylinder with the water in it. Record the mass in
    grams.

    4. Find the mass of only the water by subtracting the mass of the empty
    graduated cylinder. Record the mass of 50 mL of water in the chart.

    5. Use the mass and volume of the water to calculate density. Record the
    density in g/cm3 in the chart.

    OBSERVATION(S)
    We prepared three common liquids, which is the water, oil, and
    dishwashing liquid. We put 50 ml each of the liquid in every graduated cylinder,
    after putting the liquid into the cylinder we get the mass and volume of it in order
    to get the density of the liquid.

    CONCLUSION(S)
    We conclude that the density of the liquid that we used was 0.966 g/cm3
    (for water), 0.904 g/cm3 (for oil), and 1.018 g/cm 3 (for dishwashing liquid). We will
    use this data for the experiment 2 which is the viscosity of the common liquid.
    RECOMMENDATIONS
     It is recommended to use small scale balance when weighing the
    graduated cylinder and with the liquid in it.
     When you pour a liquid in the graduated cylinder, always check its
    meniscus if it is in 50-ml mark.
     Read thoroughly the level of liquid in the cylinder on the lower meniscus of
    the liquid to produce accurate results.
