PRE-LABORATORY QUESTIONS
1. The density of a solid substance is usually higher than its density in liquid form. Explain
then why ice (a solid) floats on top of the water (a liquid).
2. Explain the difference between precision and accuracy. How will this affect the
measurement of this activity?
3. A student weighed a clean and dry beaker and found its mass to be 53.6 g. She poured
chloroform into the beaker and measured the total mass to be 74.8 g. Help the student
identify the volume of the liquid poured into the beaker.

POST-LABORATORY QUESTIONS
1. What is the uncertainty of the measuring devices used in the experiment? a) Triple
Beam Balance/Weighing Scale, b) Graduated Cylinder c) Ruler
3. In determining the density of olive oil (0.918 g/mL of 20C), one student took exactly
25.00 mL and found the mass to be 22.95 g. A second student took exactly 50.00 mL
and found the mass to be 45.90 g. Will each student arrive at the same value for the
density? Do each calculation and explain the result.
