A chemistry student needs 25.0 mL of ethanolamine for an experiment. By consulting the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, the student discovers that the density of ethanolamine is 1.02 g*cm^-3. Calculate the mass of ethanolamine the student should weigh out. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.
A. Measurement of the density of water.Weigh a small beaker (degree of precision?). Place about 25 mL of water in a 50 mL graduated cylinder and record its volume (degree of precision?). Pour the water into the beaker and weigh the beaker and water together. From these data, calculate the density of the water, giving your answer with the proper number of significant figures.Volume of water in cylinder 23.5 mLMass of empty beaker 75.360 gMass of beaker with water 99.030 gMass of water in beaker ______gDensity of water ________g/mL
A student wants to determine the density of a metal object. They weigh it and find that its mass is 83.8 grams. They then place it in a graduated cylinder containing 20.0 mL of water, and observe that the water rises to a level of 23 mL. What is the density of the object in g/mL?
