Chapter 2, Problem 123A

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

For a data according to which a liquid is thick with density 4.58 g/mL, the qualitative and quantitative data needs to be identified.

Concept introduction:

Density of a sample of matter or an object is equal to the mass of the sample divided by the volume of the sample.

$\text{Density}=\frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Volume}}$

Answer to Problem 123A

The data ‘‘thick’’ represents the qualitative data while the density $\left(\text{4}\text{.58}\text{g/mL}\right)$ represents the quantitative data.

Explanation of Solution

From the lab notebook, the data that explains or describes the thickness or liquid represents a qualitative data while the data involving the numbers i.e. density represents the quantitative data. Hence, the data ‘‘thick’’ represents the qualitative data while the density $\left(\text{4}\text{.58}\text{g/mL}\right)$ represents the quantitative data.

Conclusion

Hence, the data ‘‘thick’’ represents the qualitative data while the density $\left(\text{4}\text{.58}\text{g/mL}\right)$ represents the quantitative data.
