Determine the Density of Graphite
Materials can be characterized by a set of physical properties.
Density is useful for this purpose. It is defined as the
ratio of an object's mass and the object's volume.
Density = mass / volume
The volume of a rectangular slab is given by:
V = W x L x T
|
The volume of a cylindrical piece is given by:
V = p x R2
x L
|
Record the density value that you have determined. It
will be used for estimating the value of Avogadro's Number.
