I. Introduction: Density is a physical property of matter that is used in chemistry and in all sciences to determine the concentration of a substance. For example solids have a higher density then liquids because a solid has a higher concentration of molecules within the same area. In this experiment we attempted to determine the mass and volume of three different samples in order to ascertain the density of each. The samples are a rubber stopper, an unknown sample of rubbing alcohol, and an unknown metal.
