It's a chemistry project in my uni and i need help with it.. how to answer this question.How to find the density of an object with undetermined shape?
Density is mass/volume. Find its mass by weighing it. Find its volume by immersing it in water and measuring how much water it displaces. That is its volume.
Divide mass by volume and you've got density.
P.How to find the density of an object with undetermined shape?
simply use a graduated cylinder. Water displacement method. An irregular object is placed in a glass with gradients or measurements filled with water. THe water level will rise because of the object's weight. Then get the actual water level reading(present reading) minus - the previous water level before the object was placed the difference = volume
Put it in a measuring bucket.
simple......anylising gases
Drown it in water. Can't remember the exact procedures. Basically by measuing the weight and volume of water displaced. Check physics websites or books.
A completely unscientific answer, but if I was in my kitchen or something right now and needed to figure it out... so long as it wasn't soluble I'd weigh it then immerse it in a container that allows me to read the amount that the water level rises (in volume) then use the standard D=M/V formula.
