Volume and Mass of Water

1. The document describes an experiment to determine the mass and volume of water. Students measure the mass of an empty graduated cylinder and then add measured volumes of water, remeasuring the mass each time to calculate the mass of water added. 2. Volumes of water from 10 mL to 100 mL are added in 10 mL increments, with the mass measured and recorded after each addition. 3. The goal is to collect data on the mass and volume of water to potentially identify relationships between these properties.

2. Measure the mass of an empty, dry,


graduated cylinder.
a) Record the mass of the cylinder in
your Active Chemistry log.
3. Add 10 mL of water to the graduated
cylinder. Remember when reading
the volume, take the reading at the
lowest part of the meniscus, as
shown in the diagram.

when recording your data.
4. Measure the mass of the graduated
cylinder and 10 mL of water.
a) Record the measurement in
your log.

5. Add another 10 mL to
the graduated cylinder
and measure the mass.
Calculate the mass of
20 mL of water.
Repeat this step for
30 mL, 40 mL, 50 mL,
and so on up to 100 mL.
a) Record all your
measurements and
calculations in the
table in your log.
