Which of the following is a best practice in weighing solid samples? A Place chemicals directly on the balance pan. B Use weighing paper, a watch glass, a beaker, or some other container to measure mass of your solid samples. Do not return the mass settings to zero mark; let the next user tare it for you. For different trials of an experiment, use multiple balances for your measurements.

Incorrect, It seems that either your starting amount is incorrect or one of your conversion factors has an error. Your current conversion gives units of L while your final answer should have units of kg. First, check your starting amount and unit to see if you have chosen the appropriate tiles. You should also consider if you might be missing factors or have included factors that are unnecessary.
1. Comment on the differences in measurements obtained on the same objects using the meter stick, ruler, and tape measure. How close are they to one another? 2. Which type of electronic balance gives you the most accurate mass? Why? 3. Comment on the differences found between the different volumetric measuring devices. How does the volume of the graduated cylinder compare to that obtained by the volumetric flask (i.e. are the volumes the same?) Which of these measuring devices gives the most accurate volume? Which of these measuring devices would you consider the easiest to work with?
A student calculated a density of water as 1,15 g/mL from his/her experimental data. What errors could have happened during the experiment to have this occur? (Please do not use math calculation error - think about things that could have happened as you did the experiment)
Suppose you were measuring out an organic liquid, and some of it is evaporated after you have performed the volumetric measurement while you are weighing out the sample. What effect would this have on the densities you calculated? Will you overestimate or underestimate the density of the liquid? Would this cause poor accuracy, low precision, or both? Explain briefly.
To determine the density of a solution, the mass and volume of two samples are measured. The results are recorded in the table. Sample 1 Sample 2 Mass (g) 9.90 9.84 Volume (mL) 10.0 10.07 In each sample, which measurement limits the number of significant digits in the calculated density? a. both measurements are limiting b. The mass measurement is limiting c. The volume measurement is limiting Sample 1____ Sample 2 ____ c.
Create a properly labelled and formatted scientific table of data for the relevant measurements taken during the investigation and solve for any other measurements if needed: Mass of empty beaker = 50.45 g Mass of beaker and water = 81.26 g Mass of water 30.81 g (represents a calculation rather than a direct measurement) Initial water temperature = 25.5 C Mass of metal = 54.02 g Initial metal temperature = 102.5 C Final water and metal mixture temperature = 36.0 C
A student obtained a density versus percent by mass sodium chloride standard curve for the Salt in the Chesapeake Bay experiment with the best-fit line below. y = 0.00671x + 0.974 This week the student calibrates a graduated cylinder and determines that it contains 10.365 mL at the 10.00 mL mark. If the empty graduated cylinder weighs 13.371 g and the cylinder filled to the 10.00 mL mark with a saltwater sample weighs 26.824 g, what is the percent by mass (%) of the saltwater sample? Report your answer with one places after the decimal.
