Question

What are the steps to measure the density of a solid?

Answer 1

Look below

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for density is:

`Density=(mass)/(volume)`

Therefore in order to find the density of a solid, you must find the mass and the volume first.

To find the mass, you can use a scale.

To find the volume, you can use the water displacement method. For example, if you fill the water of a graduated cylinder to 10 mL, and then you put a rock inside, and it rises to 15 mL, then the volume (of the rock) is 15mL-10mL=5mL.
