Question

After completing the significant figures lab as outlined in the lab manual, you compare your results with one of your peers who who performed the lab on a different day. You determine the density to be a different value. Assuming you both performed the lab according to the lab manual and made no errors, what could cause this discrepancy?

If you measured slightly different volumes the density could be different.

2. This is not possible. If you both performed the experiment with no errors you should end up with exactly the same result.

3.If the temperature of water differed you could measure a different density

4.If you measured the density in metric units and your friend measured in imperial the density would be different.
