slope m= (y2y1) (x2x1)
Volume V = length l × width w × height h
mass m = density ρ × Volume V
ρ= m V

  1. The graph shows soap density data. Use the graphed data to answer the following questions. Soap density Soap density Dial Basic Ivory volume (cm³) mass (g) y-axis labels 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 x-axis labels 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100
    1. __________ _____ Calculate the density ρ of Dial Basic soap (include units!).
    2. ______________ Based on the density, will Dial Basic soap float or sink?
    3. __________ _____ Using the density above, calculate the mass of a bar of Dial Basic soap that has a volume of 100 cm³.
    4. __________ _____ Using the density above, calculate the volume of a bar of Dial Basic soap that has a mass of 250 grams.
    5. __________ _____ Calculate the density ρ of Ivory soap.
    6. ______________ Based on the density, will Ivory soap float or sink?
    7. In the 8:00 laboratory section every group that measured Ivory soap obtained a density greater than one based their slope. Yet the Ivory soap was shown to float. Which are they more likely to have measured incorrectly and explain WHY: the volume or the mass?
  2. density vials As seen in the image, three identical vials have equal amounts of a green liquid. In terms of density, why are two floating and one has sunk to the bottom?
  3. ______________ In grams per cubic centimeter, what is the density of water?
  4. LibreOffice screen shot of soap density data. Spring 2013 I was puzzled by a bar of blue Lux Wake Me Up soap. I gathered data and made the chart shown based on the data. The slope was 0.9853 g/cm³. When placed in water the soap sank.
    1. What was unexpected about this result?
      Lux Wake Me Up soap
    2. Explain why this might have happened.
