What method would you use to find the density of a volatile liquid?

Put a container of known volume on a scale, and tare it. Then fill the container exactly to the full mark with the liquid, and record the weight. Divide the weight by the volume to get the density. The fact that it is volatile brings several considerations. If it is so volatile that some has evaporated by the time you weigh it, then it may be necessary to cap the container. Be sure to tare with the container and cap. Also, if it is a toxic volatile liquid, you may need to work in a fume hood.

How would you find the density of a lump of sodium that is about 10 grams?
The volume must be determined; try the method of liquid displacement using an anhydrous mineral oil.
Would decreasing the amount of liquid to determine density change the outcome?
No, the amount of a liquid is volume. Density is independent of volume.
Why when heating most organic volatile liquid's is it a good idea to use steam and not a Bunsen burner?
If you use Bunsen burner, you might burn the volatile liquid. Also, because it is organic, the fire would likely spread to you because it would burn too fast for you to react.
Would you expect to change a liquid's density?
The temperature of the fluid
Is ml a unit of weight?
That depends on what liquid you're talking about. Millilitres are a measure of volume, so to calculate the weight of 1ml you need to know the density of the liquid. Density is grams per millilitre, so if a liquid has a density of 1.0g/ml, 1ml would weigh 1g. For a liquid with a density of 1.5g/ml 1ml would weigh 1.5g.
How would the density be affected if some of the volatile liquid was evaporated between getting the volume and the mass?
The density increase.
Oil would be considered a nonviolatile liquid while gasoline would be considered volatile?
Volatile simply means it evaporates easily. Gasoline evaporates; it's the evaporating gas that burns, not the liquid. Oil doesn't evaporate easily, so it isn't volatile.

Would an object float at 3.684 density?
It isn't clear what units you are using, what liquid you are placing it in, and whether that is the density of the object or of the liquid. The general rule is that an object will float if it has less density than the liquid in which it is placed.

How much would 25 ml of liquid weigh if it has a density of 1.1?
27.5g, multiply by density

The temperature of the fluid
Relationship between liquid pressure and density?
If you were submerged in a liquid more dense than water, the pressure would be correspondingly greater. The pressure due to a liquid is precisely equal to the product of weight density and depth. liquid pressure = weight density x depth. also the pressure a liquid exerts against the sides and bottom of a container depends on the density and the depth of the liquid.

What has a higher density liquids or gases?
If you think of density in terms of particles this becomes easier to remember. In which would the particles be closer together? A liquid, so the liquid is denser.
