The king suspected that his crown, which was supposed to be made of pure gold, contained some silver alloy, and he asked Archimedes to prove or disprove his suspicion. (It turned out that the crown did not contain silver.) How would you experimentally determined whether or not the crown was pure gold?

- Suppose a student measured the mass of a sample that has a known mass of 40.5809 g using an analytical balance. The mass they observed was unstable, constantly jumping between 39.5 and 41.5. Choose all of the following reasons that could cause this error. O The doors to the analytical balance were not closed completely, allowing an air current to circulate inside the balance. One weigh boat was used to tare the balance while a different one was used when the sample was massed. Twice the amount of sample was placed on the analytical balance. O The sample was heated, causing a convective flow.arrow_forwardName the SI base units that are important in chemistry,and give the SI units for expressing the following:(a) length, (b) volume, (c) mass, (d) time, (e) temperature.arrow_forwardContainer A and Container B were filled completely with chicken powder.
