How do I find the density of the cube in the liquid and what is it?
Suspension method
| Methanol volume (mL) | Water volume (mL) | Cube’s behavior | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mixture 1 | 2 | 1 | sinks |
| Mixture 2 | 2 | 2 | sinks |
| Mixture 3 | 2 | 3 | sinks |
| Mixture 4 | 2 | 4 | sinks |
| Mixture 5 | 2 | 5 | sinks |
| Mixture 6 | 2 | 6 | suspended |
| Identify mixture with cube’s density | mixture 6 |
|---|---|
| Cube density (g/mL) | ? |
Mass of Cube
| Mass (g) | 0.98 |

Caliper Method
| Cube length (cm) | 1.000 |
|---|---|
| Cube volume (cm3) | 1.000 |
| Cube density (g/cm3) | 0.98 |
Behavior of Cube in Different Liquids
| Methanol | sinks |
|---|---|
| 1,2-Dichloroethane | floats |
| Water | floats |
Displacement Method
| Methanol volume (mL) | 3 |
|---|---|
| Methanol + cube volume (mL) | 4 |
| Cube volume (mL) | 1 |
| Cube density (g/mL) | 0.98 |
