In a density measurement, you determine the mass of an object to be 10.50 +/- 0.02 g and the volume of the object to be 1.638 +/- 0.005 mL. You divide the mass by the volume to determine the density of the object in g/ml. What is the final propagated error on the density? Select one: a. +/- 0.0004 g/mL b. +/- 0.04 g/mL c. +/- 0.0002 g/mL d. +/- 0.02 g/mL

A student checked the accuracy of two standard top-loading balances by testing them with a standard 5.000-g mass. The results were as follows: Balance 1: 4.99 g, 5.04 g, 5.03 g, 5.01 g Balance 2: 4.97 g, 4.99 g, 4.95 g, 4.96 g Calculate the average values for balances 1 and 2 and calculate the percent error for each. Which balance is more accurate?
A group of five students attempted to estimate 100 g of a substance by balancingthe amount of the substance with a 100-g standard mass and obtained the followingmasses after each estimated amount was weighed: 95.8634 g, 80.8125 g, 106.5078g, 98.2865 g, and 86.4453 g. Create a data table as shown below and use the datato determine the answers to the following questions:Mass (g) Deviation (g) % Deviation Error (g) % Errora) What is the mean? And what is the true value?b) What are the deviation and % deviation from the mean for each value?c) What are the error and % error for each value?

At 20oC 25.0 ml of concentrated nitric acid solution was found to have a mass of 32.503 g. What is the calculated density of this solution at 20oC? Show your calculation set-up and result using correct significant figures and proper units. Volume of Nitric acid = 25.0 ml Mass of nitric acid = 32.503 g Density = mass of substance Density= Mass of nitric acid volume of substance volume of nitric acid = 32.503g 25 .0mL = 1.30g/mL (3 sig figures) Using the calculated density of the solution from above, what is the mass of 150 ml. of the solution? Again show your solution set-up with correct significant figures and units.
A pipet is a type of glassware that is used to deliver a specified volume of liquid. A 5 mL pipet has major scale divisions marked for every milliliter and minor scale divisions marked for every 0.1 mL. i. What is the uncertainty (in mL) made using this pipet? ii. Would it be proper to report that the pipet was used to deliver 3.2 mL of liquid? Explain why or why not?
Determine if the following are systematic or random errors. It if is systematic classify it as personal, method or instrumental error.a. A 25-mL transfer pipet consistently delivers 25.031 ± 0.009 mL.b. A 10-mL buret delivered 1.9839 g of water when drained from exactly 0.00 to 2.00mL. The next time I delivered water from the 0.00 to the 2.00 mL mark, thedelivered mass was 1.9900 g.c. A 10-mL buret consistently delivers 1.98 ± 0.01 mL when drained from exactly 0to exactly 2 mL and consistently delivers 2.03 mL ± 0.02 mL when drained from 2to 4 mL.d.

A sample of gold alloy has a mass of 9.3 kg. It is determined that 0.6 kg of the alloy is actually made up of copper and zinc, with the remainder being gold. Calculate the percentage of this gold in the alloy? Express your answer to the nearest percentage (nearest ones place). Hint: calculate the mass in grams of the gold in the alloy, divide by the whole mass of the alloy, and multiply by 100%. Round your answer to two significant figures. (I had to alter the wording of this question since it wasn't calculating significant figures properly, so if you got it wrong because of significant figures you can assume you probably actually got it correct.)
