### Measurement Accuracy and Precision: Understanding Density MeasurementsFour research teams measured the density of a new alloy, and the results recorded in their notebooks are shown in the table below.Suppose a later and more reliable measurement gives a density of \(3.1 \text{ g/cm}^3\) for the same alloy. Your task is to determine which of the earlier measurements is the most accurate and which one is the most precise.| Team | What was written in the notebook | Most accurate measurement | Most precise measurement ||------|-------------------------------------------------------------|---------------------------|--------------------------|| A | "2.1 g/cm\(^3\)" | | || B | "between 3.6 g/cm\(^3\) and 4.6 g/cm\(^3\)" | | || C | "2.9 g/cm\(^3\) ± 1.0 g/cm\(^3\)" | | || D | "1.1 g/cm\(^3\) ± 20.%" | | |#### Definitions:- **Accuracy:** How close a measured value is to the actual (true) value.- **Precision:** How close the measured values are to each other.Use this information to analyze and determine the most accurate and the most precise measurement from the teams' results.**Note:** Select your choices carefully based on the definitions of accuracy and precision.

A pycnometer is a glass flask with a tight fitting glass stopper that can be used to determine the density of an insoluble solid by measuring the volume of water ejected out of the pycnometer when sample of the solid is placed in it. Determine the density in g/cm³ of an unknown metal alloy sample from the following measurements. Assume the density of water is 1.000 g/cm³. Mass of clean pycnometer = 25.151 g Mass of clean pycnometer plus water = 42.481 g Mass of clean pycnometer plus metal sample = 39.105 g Mass of clean pycnometer plus metal plus water = 54.265 g (after ejected water is dried from the outside surface)

3 A general chemistry student found a chunk of metal in the basement of a friend's house. To figure out what it was, she used the ideas just developed in class about density. First she measured the mass of the metal to be 183.3 grams. Then she dropped the metal into a measuring cup and found that it displaced 16.0 mL of water. Calculate the density of the metal. Density = g/mL Use the table below to decide the identity of the metal.
