Title: Density of a Regularly Shaped Block of Aluminum Aim: To determine the density of a regularly shaped rectangular block of Aluminum by dividing its mass by its volume. Hypothesis: It is predicted that the density would equal the mass divided by the volume of the block of aluminum. Apparatus: Electronic Balance Centimeter Ruler Method: Use the electronic balance to record the mass of the aluminum block in grams (g). Then record the length, width and height of the block using the centimeter ruler. Next, calculate the volume of the block (cm³) by multiplying the dimensions together. Afterwards determine the density (gcm¯ ³) of the block by dividing the block's mass in grams (g) by the volume in centimeters cubed (cm³). Finally calculate the average density of the blocks by adding the densities of each block (gcm¯ ³) then dividing them by the number of trials. Results: Block Number Mass of Aluminum Block (g) Length of Aluminum Block (cm) Width of...
