Table 1. Determining the Density of the Immersion Liquid (IL)

 Mass of Empty Pycnometer (g)  23.57  Volume of Pycnometer (ml)  24.8
 Mass water & Pycnometer (g)  48.28  Density of Water (g/cm3) (dW,t)  0.998
 Mass of IL & Pycnometer (g)  47.42  Mass IL in Pycnometer (g) (m1)  23.85
 Calculated Density of IL (g/cm3)  0.963  Density of IL (kg/m3)  963

Equation 1 (Calculation for the density of water)

Mass of water / volume of pycnometer = Density of water

Equation 2 (Calculation for the density of immersion liquid)

d (IL) = (m1 x dW,t)/mW

Where: m1 is the mass of the immersion liquid; mw is the mass of water; dW,t is the desity of water at temperature t

Calculated value for the density of immersion liquid = 963 kg/m3 @ 20°C

Table 2. Determining the Density of the Sample

 Run number  1  2
 Mass of Empty Pycnometer (g)  23.57  23.57
 Mass of Sample & Pycnometer (g)  31.29  32.07
 Mass of Sample added to empty Pycnometer (g) ms  7.72  8.49
 Mass of Sample, Pycnometer & immersion liquid 48.90   48.97
 Mass of immersion liquid added (g) m2  17.61  16.91
 Calculated Density of Sample (g/cm3)  1.192  1.178
 Density of Sample (kg/m3)  1192  1178
 Mean Result (kg/m3)     1185

Equation 3 (Calculation for the density of the sample)

d S,t = (ms x d (IL))/(m1 - m2)

Where: ms is the mass, in grams, of the sample; m1 is the mass, in grams, of immersion liquid required to fill empty pycnometer; m2 is the mass, in grams of immersion liquid added to fill pycnometer containing the sample; d (IL) is the denisty of the immersion liquid (as determined by equation 2).

Conclusions:
The density and relative density of the test item were found to be 1.185 g/cm^3 and 1.185 respectively according to guidelines.
