Bubbles in a substance being evaluated for density will make that material appear less dense. The bubbles are less dense than the substance being evaluated, and they take up volume and add almost no mass. That results in an overall reduction in the mass-per-unit-volume (desity) measurement.

Why do vapor bubbles rise to surface when a liquid is boiling?

Since the bubbles have less density than the surrounding water, gravity pulls the water down, and the bubbles go up.

Why is density important?

Density is important because it can show you if things float or sink.

Why ice bergs float in water?

The density of water is 1.0, the density of ice is less than 1.0 so it floats. The same principle applies to bubbles underwater.


In determining the density of a liquid a student left air bubbles trapped in the volumetric pipet Did this give a density less than expected or greater than expected why?

Well the air bubbles contrain a element called SW (short for swag). When swag is produced during a density excitement, the results vary. Usually results favor swag. To get around this trouble, you must not produce swag! To do this, dress like a hill billy, get rid of your friends, and make sure to tell everyone you meet to "f*** off". Once swag is not produced in the density experiment, you will receive the true density results! Pure Density.


What would happen if the student did not remove air bubbles from a pipette before delivering the liquid?

If the bubbles are not removed from a pipette, there will be less liquid inside the pipette than what was measured. The density will be lower as well.


How does air bubbles affect density of a solid?

Since the volume of a container is generally understood to be the capacity of the container, i. e. the amount of fluid (gas or liquid) that the container could hold, rather than the amount of space the container itself displaces.If the volume were measured by displacement of such water, there would be no effect on the density of the solid. But the measurement would be inaccurate, leading to a misrepresentation of the actual density. Density = (mass)/(volume) Assume that the mass had been accurately measured by other means, and the volume then measured by displacement of water that included air bubbles. During the overflow procedure, the air would escape, and only the H2O component of the displaced fluid would be available for measurement. Hence, the volume of the solid would be under-reported. Since (volume) is the denominator of the fraction, the apparently smaller volume would cause the quantity (mass)/(volume) to become artificially large, and the density of the solid would appear larger than its actual density. --relxerd
