Carry out these steps, and record your findings in the table. Pour water to the 2.0 mL mark in the graduated cylinder. If you look at the graduated cylinder from the side, you will see the water forms a curve. Make sure the bottom of the curve is at the 2.0 mL mark.
Use the gram scale to measure the mass of the graduated cylinder and 2.0 mL of water. Record the mass in the table. Calculate the mass of 2.0 mL of water by subtracting the mass of the graduated cylinder.
Repeat this process to find and record the mass of 4.0 mL of water and then 6.0 mL of water.
Density is mass in grams divided by volume in cubic centimeters (cm3). 1 mL is equal to 1 cm3. Calculate and record the density of water.
