The density of a liquid is determined by successively weighing 25, 50, 75, 100 and 125mL of the liquid in a 250mL beaker. If volume of liquid is plotted along the horizontal axis, and total mass of beaker plus liquid is plotted on the vertical axis
The x, or horizontal, intercept is the negative value of the weight of the beaker.
The y, or vertical, intercept is the weight of the empty beaker.
The slope of the line is 1.0
The line will pass through the origin
The slope of the line is independent of the identity of the liquid
