In experiment
4 you have balanced 4 drops of water by 1 metal
closure of a Liquemin bottle. Now you will learn how to measure
exactly 1.0 ml in a syringe and to weigh it.
Left: This
is a syringe with exactly 1 milliliter (mL) of a liquid.
(By repeating to suck liquid
and to press it back quickly you will be able to remove air bubbles.)
Photo 2: Add
1 ml of water to the left pan of the scale. Rebalance by adding metal closures
(0.2 g) to the right one: 1 ml of water is balanced by 5 Liquemin closures,
the density of water is 1.0 g per mL.
Photo 3: Replace
1 ml of water by 1 ml of Dead Sea water: The scale is not balanced,
Dead Sea water is more heavy than water.
Right: Rebalance
by adding more metal closures (0.2 g) to the right pan: 1 ml of Dead Sea
water is balanced by 6 Liquemin closures, the density of Dead Sea water
is 1.2 g per mL.
