Design an experiment to determine the specific volume of wat

Design an experiment to determine the specific volume of water. For the experiment develop written procedures that include identification of all equipment needed and specification of all required calculations. compare your result to steam table data, and communicate your results in an executive summary.

experiment to find the specific volume

- Measure the mass of the empty graduated cylinder. Record the weight.

- Fill the cylinder with water to the 100 ml line. This is the volume.

- Measure the mass of the cylinder with water.

- Subtract the mass of the empty cylinder from the mass of the filled cylinder.

- Divide the mass of the water by its volume. This will yield the density of the tap water.

- now, we know very well that

   specific volume = 1 / density

Thus, by this experiment we can find specific volume of water.
