Measuring the Density of Ice and Liquid Water 
 
Purpose 
This lab experimentally measures the density of a water sample in its ice phase 
as well as its liquid phase.  The experimental density values are compared to 
known density values obtained from a reference book. 
 
Procedure 
Place approximately 5 ml of warm distilled, deionized water into a clean, dry 
10.0 ml graduated cylinder that has been preweighed. Freeze the filled 
graduated cylinder in an ice bath. Record the volume of the ice and the mass of 
the ice and graduated cylinder. Melt the ice in the graduated cylinder and record 
the volume of the liquid water as well as the mass of the water and graduated 
cylinder. Repeat procedure for a second trial. 
 
Data 
 Trial I Trial II 
Volume of ice 6.22 ml 6.94 ml 
Mass of ice + cylinder 24.1 g 24.7 g 
Mass of cylinder alone 18.5 g 18.4 g 
Mass of ice* 5.6 g 6.3 g 
Volume of liq. water 5.62 ml 6.53 ml 
Mass of liq. water + cylinder 24.1 g 24.8 g 
Mass of cylinder alone 18.5 g 18.4 g 
Mass of liq. water * 5.6 g 6.4 g 
 
Calculations 
*mass ice = 24.1 – 18.5 = 5.6 g        mass of liq. water = 24.1 – 18.5 = 5.6 g 
D= M/V  
Dice = 5.6 g/6.22 ml = .900  .90 g/ml Dwater = 5.6 g/5.62 ml = .996 1.00 g/ml 
%Error = 100% * |(Actual value – Measured value)| / actual value 
% Error = 100% * |.931 - .91| / .931 = 2.25 2.3%

NOTES FOR GOOD LAB 
REPORT GRADES 
 
Intro: 
Remember to use your own 
words*, but look at the 
manual’s intro for ideas. 
 
Procedure: 
BRIEFLY describe the steps 
(in paragraphs, preferably). 
Do NOT include details about 
standard lab procedures 
(heating, weighing). 
Do NOT discuss calculations; 
that comes later. 
Use the same tense and 
voice throughout (this is 3rd 
person present tense). 
 
Data and Calculations: 
You will NOT include a Data 
or Calculations section. The 
datasheet, which you should 
include as a second file, will 
replace the Data and 
Calculations.  
 
I included it here to show you 
how lab reports normally look 
and so that the conclusions 
make sense to you.

Sample Lab Report 
Conclusion 
The calculated densities obtained from this lab were very close to the values 
reported in the literature.  Curiously, although they were only 2.3% off , both 
trials of the ice density generated lower than expected densities.  Small air 
bubbles trapped in the ice samples would make the volume of ice readings 
higher than they should be (and thus the density would appear lower than 
expected), and might account for some of the error. The error could also have 
been caused by water impurities with something else that was less dense. 
 
It was noticed that the measured masses of each sample remained identical from 
solid to liquid phase.  The only way the mass could have changed from melting 
is if ice or water was lost between weighings.  This shouldn’t happen as mass 
cannot be created nor destroyed.  The second mass measurement was thus 
unnecessary. 
 
It was also observed that density appears to be an intensive property.  An 
intensive property is one which does not depend on the amount of matter being 
studied.  The mass of water varied between trials, yet the calculated densities 
were the same.  Our results were very accurate with only 2.1% and 1.0% errors.  
The density of a substance can vary with its phase and its temperature.  To 
reduce errors, when measuring the liquid water volume, it is important to ensure 
that the water temperature is as close to zero as possible, but that all of the ice 
has melted. 
 
Ice was found to have a lighter density than water. This property explains why 
ice floats in water, or solutions that are mostly made of water. If you put ice 
cubes in a liquid like ethanol (d= 0.8 g/mL), which is less than the 0.91 g/mL 
density of ice, one would expect to see the ice cubes sink instead of floating. 
 
 
Datasheet Questions   
1) Why isn’t tap water used for this experiment? 
Distilled, deionized water is used instead of tap water because it is more pure.  
The impurities in tap water (like minerals) have different densities than water 
and would have created error. 
 
2) If the ice is allowed to thaw until it reaches room temperature, how would 
that affect the measured density? 
The density of a substance is temperature dependent.  If the ice is allowed to 
thaw until it reaches room temperature, we would be measuring the density of 
water at 20 C, which is less dense than 4 C water. 
 
3) An empty graduated cylinder weighs 25.55 g.  When filled to 55.0 ml with an 
unknown liquid it weighs 227.21 grams.  What is the density of the liquid. 
Dliq  = mliq / Vliq  = (227.21 g – 25.55 g)/55.0 ml = 201.66 g/ 55.0 ml 
 = 3.666  3.67 g/ml 
*A note about academic dishonesty (“plagiarism”): 
To use someone else’s words is plagiarism. It doesn’t matter if it is 
taken from the manual, the internet or even your lab partner. To avoid 
the consequences, paraphrase or cite the original writing. 
Conclusion: 
Remember to use your own 
words*, but you can look at 
the manual or talk to your lab 
partner for ideas. 
Briefly discuss your results, 
and then explain how close 
they were to expected.   
Discuss any errors and how 
they would change your 
calculations and results. 
For full points, I am looking 
for insight into what the 
lesson of the lab was.  Read 
the intro and try to show that 
you accomplished the goal. 
Summarize your lab in one or 
two sentences. 
Mention any real-life 
significance of the lab. 
State any things you have 
learned in the lab (briefly!). 
Note that the voice (3rd 
person) is consistent 
throughout. 1st or 2nd person 
are also okay, although 3rd is 
commonly used in science. 
 
Lab Questions 
The lab questions are part of 
the datasheet, so they will not 
appear in the report portion. 
But, since the lab questions 
are designed to help you 
notice things you’re supposed 
to be learning in lab, you’ll 
probably want to comment on 
them in your conclusions 
also.
