What is the relation between density, volume, and mass? Ans: Mass, volume and density are three of an objects most basic properties. Mass is how heavy something is, volume tells you how big it is, and density is mass divided by volume. If you know the mass and volume of an object , you can figure outs its density by dividing the mass by the volume (D=M/V) and mass by multiplying the density times the volume (M=D*V).

Introduction
Density is a key physical property of matter that is essential in chemistry and other scientific fields. It is defined as the mass of an object divided by its volume (D = M/V) (Atkins & de Paula, 2014). Understanding density allows chemists to identify substances, determine purity, and calculate concentrations of solutions. This report will detail the experimental determination of the density of regular and irregular solids, explaining the methodologies employed and presenting calculations as required.
Pre-Lab Questions
Relationship between Density, Volume, and Mass
Density (D), mass (M), and volume (V) can be mathematically related through the formula D = M/V (Zumdahl & Zumdahl, 2019). This relationship signifies that knowing any two of these quantities allows the calculation of the third, which is vital in various chemical analyses.
Finding Density of Regular-Shaped and Irregular-Shaped Solids
1. Density of a Regular Solid: An iPhone 12, which has defined dimensions, can be measured for mass and volume. The density is then calculated by dividing the mass by the volume.
2. Density of an Irregular Solid: For an irregularly shaped solid, the density is determined using water displacement to measure the volume of liquid displaced by the solid, thus providing the volume of the solid (Lide, 2018).

Calculations
Density of the Irregular Solid
The density of the irregular solid can be calculated as follows:
1. Calculate the volume displaced:
- Volume of solid = V2 - V1 = 120 mL - 100 mL = 20 mL
2. Density formula:
- Density = Mass/Volume = 50 g / 20 mL = 2.50 g/mL
Density using Graphing Techniques
To determine the density of pennies, the mass was plotted against the volume, resulting in a slope that equals density.
1. Plotting: A scatter plot was created using Excel to graph mass vs. volume.
2. Slope Calculation:
\[
\text{Slope} = \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} = \frac{\text{Change in Mass}}{\text{Change in Volume}} = \frac{M2 - M1}{V2 - V1}
\]
Using values from the table:
\[
\text{Density} = \frac{12.0\,g - 0\,g}{51\,mL - 50\,mL} = 12.0\,g/mL
\]
Questions
Question 1
To find the volume of 575 g of an organic solvent with a density of 0.785 g/mL, the equation can be rearranged to calculate volume:
\[
V = \frac{m}{D} = \frac{575\,g}{0.785\,g/mL} \approx 733.4\,mL
\]
Question 2
To find the mass of a solution with a density of 1.125 g/mL and a volume of 80.0 mL, the formula can also be rearranged:
\[
M = D \times V = 1.125\,g/mL \times 80.0\,mL = 90.0\,g
\]
Question 3
A helium-filled balloon rises in air due to the principle of buoyancy: the density of helium is less than that of air. This difference causes the buoyant force, allowing the balloon to float (Archimedes’ Principle).
Question 4
Using Excel for graphing is more accurate than hand-drawn graphs due to improved precision in data plotting and statistical analysis. Excel minimizes human error and provides an exact slope for density calculation rather than estimation (Cohen et al., 2018).
Conclusion
The experiments successfully demonstrated the methods for determining the density of both regular and irregular solids. Through direct measurement and graphical techniques, the density values were calculated accurately, highlighting the importance of density in characterizing material properties.
