  1. The graph shows soap density data. Use the graphed data to answer the following questions. Soap density Soap density Dial Basic Neutrana 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.
    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. __________ _____ Calculate the density ρ of Neutrana soap.
    8. ______________ Critical thinking: Based on the density, will Neutrana soap float or sink?
  2. Critical thinking: Some laboratory groups obtained slopes which incorrectly predicted whether their soap would float or sink. Which are they more likely to have measured incorrectly and explain WHY: the volume or the mass?
  3. A student gathered the data seen in the table below.

    1. Plot the soap data on the graph.
    2. __________ __________ Calculate the density of the soap. Include the units with your answer.
    3. Based on the slope, will the soap [float] OR [sink]?
    4. Based on the slope, is this likely to be [Ivory] OR [Dial] soap?

slope m= (y2−y1) (x2−x1)
Volume V = length l × width w × height h
mass m = density ρ × Volume V
ρ= m V
