Density of a Liquid

• 1. Measure the mass of an empty measuring cylinder.
• 2. Fill the measuring cylinder with a specific volume of the liquid. Record the volume.
• 3. Measure the combined mass of the measuring cylinder and the liquid.
• 4. Calculate the mass of the liquid by subtracting the empty mass (step 2) from the new mass (step 3).
• 5. Calculate the density using:

  • density = mass / volume
