Things to Ponder:
1. Why is density determination important? What practical applications of density
did you learn in this experiment? Give one specific example.

Density determination is critical in many areas, including physics, engineering, and

chemistry. It assists in determining material physical properties, as well as the purity of
a substance and the concentration of a solution. Understanding the behavior of fluids
and gases under different conditions is likewise largely reliant on density. Accurate
density measurement is critical for quality control and research. One frequent use of
density is determining whether an object will float on water. If an object's density is less
than that of water, it will float; if its density is more than that of water, it will descend.

2. What measurements are necessary in order to calculate the density of the

sample?

Several measurements are required to calculate the density of a sample. The sample's
mass must be measured with a balance, and its volume must be calculated by
displacement or measurement of its dimensions. The temperature and pressure
circumstances under which the measurements are made should also be documented
since they might have an impact on the density estimate.

3. What relationship can you deduce between density and Salt concentration?
Graph their relationship and explain the equation of the trend line.

The relationship between density and salt concentration is a well-known scientific

phenomenon. The concentration of salt raises the density of the solution. Because salt
molecules are heavier than water molecules, they sink and make the fluid denser
overall. As a result, it is possible to deduce that salt concentration and solution density
are inextricably linked.
