Silver-10.5,

Rhodium-12.4 and

Platinum- 21.45 grams per cubic centimeter.

Problem states that you have 3 unlabeled bottles with metallic powder.


You need to identify the metals in the bottles.


The metal densities are given in the problem description.


We will use Archimedes' Principle to find the densities of metals.

Slide Number 5

Archimedes Principle

An object when immersed in water will displace water.

The displaced water will be equal to its volume.

Slide Number 6

Archimedes Principle

Different metals have different densities.


Hence, different metals of the same weight have different volumes.


A metal that is less dense will displace more water than a denser one.

Slide Number 7


Results


Calculate the densities using the formula:

Density= mass/volume.


Solid Mass (m) Volume

(V) = V2-V1

Density= m/V Given Density Metal
Metal 1 50 g 15-10=5


50/5=10 10.5 Silver
Metal 2 50 g 14-10=4 50/4=12.25 12.4 Rhodium
Metal 3 50 g 12.5-10=2.5 50/2.5=20 21.45 Platinum


This slide shows the density calculations for the metals.


Calculate the densities using the formula:

Density= mass/volume.


Experimental density of Metal 1 is 10 which corresponds to Silver.

Metal 2 is 12.2 which corresponds to Rhodium.


Metal 3 is 20 which corresponds to Platinum.

Slide Number 8

Slide number 9

Results

Calculate densities using the formula:

Density=mass/volume

Experimental results are tabulated on this slide.


Calculate densities using the formula:

Density=mass/volume


Observe that density of Compound A-1 is more than Compound A-2.


Therefore Compound A-1 contains the preservative.
