Visit this density simulation and click the "turn fluid into water" button to adjust the density of liquid in the beaker to 1.00 g/mL.
(a) Use the water displacement approach to measure the mass and volume of the unknown material (select the green block with question marks).
(b) Use the measured mass and volume data from step (a) to calculate the density of the unknown material.
(c) Assuming this material is a widely available copper-containing gemstone, what is its likely identity? Compare the measured density to the values tabulated at this gemstone density guide.
(d) How are mass and density related for blocks of the same volume?
