Now a bit closer to home....let's say you're in a lab room on campus. You put a 200mL beaker on a quad beam balance. The balance reads 62 grams. What is this reading? Now I fill up the same beaker with 100 mL of water. I put it back on the balance and it reads 163 grams. What is the value of just the water in the beaker? Determine the density of the water in your beaker. What was your percent error given the true density of water is 1 g/cm³? % error = (accepted value) - (measured value) * 100 (accepted value)

Expert Solution
Step 1: Introduction to the topic

Density is mass per unit volume. The unit is gm/cm3 

We know 1 milliliter = 1 cubic centimetre (cm3) 

Data given, 

200 ml beaker 

So it's volume is 200 ml = 200 cm3
