The graph shows soap density data. Use the graphed data to answer the following questions.
__________ _____ Calculate the density ρ of Dial Basic soap. Include the units.
______________ Based on the density, will Dial Basic soap floatorsink?
__________ _____ Calculate the density ρ of Jergens soap.
______________ Based on the density, will Jergens soap floatorsink?
__________ _____ Calculate the density ρ of Ivory soap.
______________ Based on the density, will Ivory soap floatorsink?
__________ _____ What is the density of water in grams per cubic centimeter?
__________ _____ Calculate the density ρ of Neutrona soap.
______________ Based on the density, will Neutrona soap floatorsink?
A student gathered the data seen in the table below.
Plot the soap data on the graph.
__________ __________ Calculate the density of the soap. Include the units with your answer.
______________ Based on the slope, will this soap [float]OR[sink]?
______________ Based on the slope, is this soap likely to be IvoryORDial soap?
__________ __________ Calculate the mass of this soap for a volume of 200 cm³.
__________ __________ Calculate the volume of this soap for a mass of 240 g.
In laboratory one on a graph of volumeversusmass for soap, what physical quantity did the slope represent?
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 WHY: the volume or the mass?
