Final answer:
To determine the density of a sugar solution, one can measure its mass and volume. The water displacement method can be used to measure the volume, and a balance can be used to measure the mass. The density can then be calculated by dividing the mass by the volume.
Step-by-step explanation:
The subject of this question is Chemistry, and the grade level is High School.
In this experiment, the student is trying to determine the density of a sugar solution. To determine the density, the student can measure the mass and volume of the sugar solution. By dividing the mass by the volume, the density of the sugar solution can be calculated.
One method to measure the mass and volume is to use the water displacement method. The student can partially fill a graduated cylinder with water and record the initial volume. Then, the student can add the sugar solution to the cylinder and record the final volume. The difference in volume before and after adding the sugar solution gives the volume of the solution. The mass of the sugar solution can be measured using a balance. Finally, the student can calculate the density by dividing the mass by the volume.
