Procedure
1. Aluminum Cylinder
Step1: Weigh an aluminum cylinder to the nearest 0.1mg, using the analytical balance, and record the mass on the Summary Report Sheet.
Step 2: Determine the dimensions of the cylinder using vernier calipers and/or a ruler.
Step 3: Place the aluminum cylinder in a 25-mL graduated cylinder. Clean a buret and fill it with deionized water. Make sure the water meniscus is at, or below, the top calibration mark.
Step 4: Record the volume of the (aluminum plus water) in the graduated cylinder.
2. Ball Bearing
Step 1: Weigh each ball bearing on a top loading balance. The mass of each ball bearing should be determined to the nearest 0.01g and should be recorded in increasing order on the report sheet.
Step 2: Place the smallest ball bearing on the cover and measure the mass and record the value on the report.
Step 3: Tare the balance again and add the second ball bearing and record its mass. Continue until all the mass has been recorded.
Step 4: Measure the diameter of each ball bearing using the vernier caliper.
The procedure used for this determination is identical to that described in:
Block/McKelvy/Denniston/Silverstein (2008). Laboratory Experiments for Chem 1211L & 1212L Cengage Learning p.18 & p.27 (Determination of Density)
