Describe an experiment to find the density of copper turnings using a density bottle and kerosene.
Answer Text: - Measure the mass m_0 of a clean dry empty density bottle. - Fill the bottle partly with copper turnings and measure massm1.- Fill up the bottle with kerosene up to the neck and measure its mass as m2. - Empty the bottle and rinse it. - Fill it with kerosene and replace it with the stopper, wipe outside dry and measure the mass m_3 of the bottle filled with kerosene.Results Mass of kerosene= (m3-m0)gVolume of kerosene = (m3-m0)0.8cm3(Since density of kerosene 0.8gcm-3) Mass of copper turnings =(m1-m0)gMass of kerosene present when the bottle is filled with copper turnings and kerosene =(m2-m1) g Volume of kerosene = (m2-m1)0.8cm3Volume of copper turnings = {(m3-m0)-(m2-m1)}0.8cm3Therefore density of copper turnings = 0.8(m1-m0){(m3-m0)-(m2-m1)}
