Table 1: Determining the Density of the Immersion Liquid (IL):

Mass of Empty Pycnometer (g) 24.07 Volume of Pycnometer (ml) 25.3
Mass water & Pycnometer (g) 49.34 Density of Water (g/cm3) (ρW,t) 0.998
Mass of IL & Pycnometer (g) 48.44 Mass IL in Pycnometer (g) (m1) 24.36
Calculated Density of IL (g/cm3) 0.963 Density of IL (kg/m3) 963

Equation 1 (Calculation for the density of water): Mass of water / volume of pycnometer = Density of water .

Equation 2 (Calculation for the density of immersion liquid): ρIL = m1/mW x ρW,t .

Where : m1 is the mass of the immersion liquid, mW is the mass of water, ρW,t is the density of water at temperature t.

Table 2 : Determining the Density of the Sample:

Run Number 1 2
Mass of Empty Pycnometer (g) 24.07 24.07
Mass of Sample & Pycnometer (g) 39.83 39.51
Mass of Sample added to empty Pycnometer (g) ms 15.76 15.44
Mass of Sample, Pycnometer & immersion liquid 47.35 47.53
Mass of immersion liquid added (g) m2 7.52 8.02
Calculated Density of Sample (g/cm3) 0.901 0.909
Density of Sample (kg/m3) 901 909

Mean Result (kg.m-3): 905.

Equation 3 (Calculation for the density of the sample): ρS,t = ms * ρIL /(m1 – m2) .

Where: ms is the mass, in grams, of the sample; m1 is the mass, in grams, of immersion liquid required to fill the empty pycnometer; m2 is the mass, in grams of immersion liquid added to fill the pycnometer containing the sample; ρIL is the density of the immersion liquid (as determined by equation 2).
