Lab 2: Density of Matter Pre-Lab Questions

1. (2 point) Severus Snape knows that density of his powder is 3.00 g/cm3 . He also knows he
needs 3.00 cm3 of this powder. What mass in grams does he require?

2. (2 points) Trevor, Neville Longbottom’s pet toad, has a mass of 13.6 kg. Trevor jumps into
a large cylinder containing water. The water level rises 2.50 L. What is the density of the toad?
Express your answer in kg/L.

3. (2 points) The philosopher’s stone weighs 43.2 g is placed in a graduated cylinder containing
63 mL of water. After the stone is added to the cylinder the water rises to 74 mL. What is the
density of the stone? Express your answer in g/mL.

4. (2 points) Harry’s spell book is a rectangular solid and has dimensions 4.0 cm by 13 cm by
9.2 cm and a mass of 4.2 kg. What is its density? Express your answer in g/cm3 .

5. (2 points) Harry’s Golden Snitch, the smallest ball in Quidditch, is a sphere with radius of
3.10 cm, and a density of 6.12 g/cm3 . What is its mass? Express your answer in grams.

6. (2 points) Mr. Finnigan has a particular proclivity for pyrotechnics. He will use right circular
cylinders with a height of 12.0 cm and a radius of 11.6 cm. If the density of his powder is 8.41 g/cm3 ,
how many grams of powder does he need to stop the Snatchers from getting to Hogwarts if he needs
14 of these cylinders? Express your answer in kg.

7. (2 points) Hermione Granger uses her Time-Turner and is suddenly whisked away to a cold
April night in 1912 in the middle of the Atlantic ocean. She is on the Titanic enjoying the party. In
the distance she sees a large white object approaching the ship. She thinks its pretty and not much
danger to the ship so she carries on with her festivities. Later the large white object (an iceberg)
hits the ship, and the ship begins to sink. As the ship is sinking she thinks, hm, it wasnt that big of
an ice-berg (and of course this ship cant sink...). What percentage of the iceberg was under water?
Let the density of the water be 1.0 g/cm3 , and the density of the ice be 0.92 g/cm3 . Express your
answer as a percentage (not a decimal).

8. (2 points) Albus Dumbledore is a strict headmaster. He, like your professor in this course,
requires you to answer all questions with the proper number of significant figures. To test your
knowledge, what is the answer to the following problem, reported to the correct number of significant
figures?
9.072 − 8.7497
21.75 ∗ 0.09764

9. (2 points) Severus Snape thinks it’s important to understand the fundamentals. He would like
to know the SI units for volume. What are they?
