Question 3
2. Another plastic-like piece has a mass of 65.389 grams and displaces 53.652 grams of water
(measured at 24.6 °C). Is this piece likely to be composed of the same material as the sample in
problem 1? Explain using the Claim-Evidence-Reasoning process.
3. Here are two possible methods for measuring the volume of an irregular shaped object.
a) Add it to a graduated cylinder containing a known volume of water. Measure the change in
the volume of the water after the object has been added. The graduated cylinder is
graduated in 1 mL increments.
b) Add the object to vessel that is full of water. Collect and measure the mass of the water
that is displaced on a digital balance that provides mass to the 0.001 g. Determine the
volume by comparing to the density of water table given in table 1.1.
Which method would be more likely to produce a more precise measure of the volume of an
object?
