Describe the technique you would use to determine the density of approximately 5 gram samples of the following at 20 C and 1 atm pressure: a) Gasoline b)Granular Sugar c)a lump of "gold" d)mercury
a) Because it is a liquid, the best technique is to measure approximately 5 g of gasoline and weigh this sample, the density is calculated: d = mass / volume.
b) Weigh 5 g of sugar and measure its volume.
c) The lump is weighed, a certain volume of water is measured, the lump is introduced into the water and the new volume is measured, the lump volume is obtained by difference.
d) Volume and mass are measured as a fluid substance, density is calculated.
If you liked the answer, please rate it positively, you would help me a lot, thanks.
