    Group 6 conducted an experiment to determine the specific gravity of liquids and solids. They used a Baumé hydrometer, Mohr-Westphal balance, and Leach pycnometer to find the specific gravity of 95% ethyl alcohol. They also used a pycnometer to determine the specific gravity of copper sulfate. They were able to calculate specific gravity and relative density values using the mass measurements of the samples and equipment taken with a triple beam balance along with the application of significant figure rules.

    EXPERIMENT 3 The Specific Gravity of Liquids and Solids


    ABSTRACT
    The objective of the experiment is to get the specific gravity of a liquid sample through
    different types of methods like Baum Hydrometer, Mohr-Westphal Balance and Leach
    Pycnometer, while for the solid sample in able to get the specific gravity a pycnometer is used.
    The materials that are tested for their specific gravity are 95% ethyl alcohol for the liquid sample
    and Copper Sulfate as the solid sample with its standard liquid glycerin. The mass of the
    different samples and pycnometers were obtained by the use of a triple beam balance. Then,
    the specific gravity were measures by the use of the different methods like Baum Hydrometer,
    Mohr-Westphal Balance, Leach Pycnometer and, by a Pycnometer. Specific gravity and relative
    density of the liquid and solid sample were computed by using the values obtained and with the
    application of the rules on significant figures.

    QUESTION AND ANSWER


    1.

    Differentiate specific gravity and density

    Density and specific gravity are both ways of describing the weight (mass) of certain
    quantity of material. They are useful in determining yield and comparing different materials. The
    main difference is that density has units and specific gravity does not. Due to that specific
    gravity is determined by dividing the density of a material by the density of an equal volume of
    water using the same units. The units therefore cancel each other out also density is the
    measure of the amount of mass per volume, while specific gravity is a measure of
    density relative to the density of a reference substance. Specific gravity is also called relative
    density. The reference material could be anything, but the most common reference is pure
    water.

    If 54.96 mL of oil weight 52.78g, what is its specific gravity?

    ( 54.96
    1000 )

    m 52.78
    P= =

    v
    P=960.3g/L

    ( p of water )

    p of sample
    sp=

    Specific gravity= (960.3 g/L)/ (1000g/L)


    Specific gravity= 0.9603

    3. A pycnometer weighs 50.00g. When filled with water, it weighs 100.00 g. When filled with oil,
    it weighs 94.00g. Determine the specific gravity of the oil?
    A.Mass of pycnometer= 50.00g
    B.Mass of pycnometer w/ water= 100.00g
    C.Mass of pycnometer w/ oil= 94.00 g
    Specific Gravity of the liquid= (C-A)/ (B-A)
    = (94.00g-50.00g)/ (100.00g-50.00g)
    Specific Gravity of Oil = 0.8800
    4. An insoluble powder weighs 12.00g. A pycnometer, weighing 21.00 g when empty, weighs
    121.00 g when filled with water. When the powder is introduced into the emptied pycnometer,
    and the pycnometer is filled with water, the three together weigh 130.00g. What is the specific
    gravity of the powder?
    A. Mass of pycnometer= 21.00g
    B. Mass of pycnometer w/ water= 121.00g
    C. Mass of powder= 12.00g
    D. Mass of pycnometer w/ powder and water= 130.00g
    Mass of displaced liquid = (B-A)-(D-C+A)

    = (121.00g-21.00g)-(130.00g-12.00g-21.00g)
    =100.00g-97.00g
    =3.00g
    Specific Gravity = 12.00g/3.00g
    Specific Gravity=4.00
