1. TEK I7A – investigate and identify properties of fluids including
Density,
Bouyancy
and Viscosity

2. Density
Which box is more dense?
Both cubes have the same volume, but Cube 1 has more molecules so it is denser than the Cube 2!

3. Density compares the mass of an object to its volume
D = mass = g or g
volume mL cm3
Note: 1 mL = 1 cm3

4. Volume Displacement
A solid or liquid displaces a matching volume of water when the solid or liquid is placed in water.
33 mL
25 mL

5. Sample Problem 33 mL 25 mL (A) 0.2 g/ mL 6.0 g/mL 8.0 g/mL 252 g/mL
1. What is the density (g/mL) of 48 g of a metal if the metal raises the level of water in a graduated cylinder from 25 mL to 33 mL?
(A) g/ mL
6.0 g/mL
8.0 g/mL
252 g/mL B
33 mL
25 mL

6. Density of Liquids
Liquids of lower density float on liquids of higher density.
Vegetable Oil
Density= .95 g/mL
Water
Density= 1.0 g/mL

7. Sample Problem (A) (B) (C)
2. Which diagram represents the liquid layers in the cylinder?
(K) Karo syrup (1.4 g/mL),
(V) vegetable oil (0.91 g/mL),
(W) water (1.0 g/mL)
(A) (B) (C) A V K W V W K W K V

8. Solution (V) vegetable oil (0.91 g/mL), (W) water (1.0 g/mL),
(K) Karo syrup (1.4 g/mL) V W K

9. Sample Problem (A) 548 mL (B) 96.7 mL (C) 1.25 mL (D) 1.83 mL
3. If blood has a density of 1.05 g/mL at 96.7° F, how many milliliters of blood are donated if 575 g of blood are given?
(A) 548 mL
(B) mL
(C) mL
(D) mL A

10. Buoyancy Why does a boat float higher in saltwater than in freshwater?
A boat has more buoyancy in saltwater than in freshwater because saltwater is more dense than freshwater

11. Bouyancy
Buoyancy is the tendency of a less dense substance to float in a more dense liquid.

12. How do life jackets increase your buoyancy?
Lifejackets decrease your density by increasing your volume without increasing your mass much.
D= M V

13. Viscosity
Have you ever been accused of moving “slower than molasses in January”?
What makes a substance like molasses flow so slowly?
Molasses has a very high viscosity- which means it resists flow!

14. Viscosity Viscosity is resistance to fluid flow.
When particles in a liquid are strongly attracted there is high viscosity.
When particles in a liquid are weakly attracted there is low viscosity.

15. Viscosity
What about when you heat up syrup? Then it seems to flow faster. What’s going on then?
When you warm up a substance the kinetic energy of the molecules increase. This means that the molecules are moving faster, weakening the attraction between the particles, and lowering the viscosity.

16. (A) test tubes, test tube rack, balance, beakers
4. During a laboratory investigation a student had to plan and implant an investigative procedure to determine the density of an unknown liquid. The student would need what equipment to do this investigation:
(A) test tubes, test tube rack, balance, beakers
(B) graduated cylinder, balance, beakers, funnel
(C) graduated cylinder, beakers, test tube rack, test tubes
(D) litmus paper, pH sensor, balance, Bunsen burner B

17. 5. A sample of an element has a volume of 78. 0 mL and a density of 1
5. A sample of an element has a volume of 78.0 mL and a density of 1.85 g/mL. What is the mass in grams of the sample?
144.30

18. one-fourth the original density one-half the original density
6. A block of maple wood with a volume of 405 cubic centimeters and a density of 0.67 g/cm3 is sawed in half. The density of the two smaller blocks in now
one-fourth the original density
one-half the original density
two times the original density
the same as the original density D

A massive B dense
C viscous D soluble B
