Explain the procedure for measurement of density of an oil in laboratory.
Procedure: i. Weigh the empty mass of measuring cylinder by using electronic weighing balance. Record the mass in kg (W1) ii.Pour 100 ml oil in measuring cylinder. Use a dropper to add or remove small amounts of oil and convert 100 ml of oil into m3 iii.Weight the measuring cylinder with the oil in it .Record the mass in kg (W2) iv. Find the mass of only oil by subtracting the mass of the empty measuring cylinder i.e. (W2-W1). v. Use mass and volume of the oil to calculate density of an oil. vi.Use following relation to calculate density of an oil.
