Finding the density of immiscible liquids

Principle

Using the knowledge gained in the experiments "Buoyancy and floating" and "Finding the density of solid bodies by measuring the buoyancy", the students should determine the density of petroleum ether in a water-filled U-tube.

After rearranging the given formula they should recognise the correlation between density and height and explain it in their own words.

Benefits

• Student-suitable experiment descriptions with reports available
