Analysis of Results and Other Questions Densities (in g/cm at 25°C) 6. Assuming your nails are made of one of the elemental metals in the table (right), what is the most likely Mg 1.74 metal? How confident are you that they are made up of that metal? Explain. Zn 7,14 Cr 7.15 Sn 7.26 Fe 7.87 Ni 8.90 Cu 8.96 Pb 11.3 Au 19.3 7. (a) Search the web for a value for the density of baby oil (if no T is given, it is assumed to be near room T): Source company or site name where you got the value (don't list the full URL): (b) Search the web (Google is best here) for the density of mineral oil from Sigma-Aldrich (a chemical company): (c) As you learned during your prelab (hopefully!), baby oil and mineral oil are not pure substances. As such, their composition (and thus density) can vary a bit, which would not be so for a pure substance (at a given T). That is why you likely found varying values-or ranges of values-for baby oil. That said, assuming that the value you got from the Sigma-Aldrich web site for the density of mineral oil is the best guess for the "actual value" of the density of the baby oil you used in this experiment, answer the following: Which method, the one with the pycnometer (Method A) or the one with the graduated cylinder (Method B) resulted in the more accurate determination of the density of baby oil? Give reasoning. (d) Given your data, can you state which method (A or B) determines density more precisely? If yes, provide reasoning. If not, what would you need to do experimentally in order to tell? Explain.
