Chapter L, Problem 56GQ

You are asked to identify an unknown liquid that is known to be one of the liquids listed below. You pipet a 3.50-mL sample into a beaker. The empty beaker had a mass of 12.20 g. and the beaker plus the liquid weighed 16.08 g.

Chapter L, Problem 56GQ, You are asked to identify an unknown liquid that is known to be one of the liquids listed below. You

(a) Calculate the density and identify the unknown.

(b) If you were able to measure the volume to only two significant figures (that is, 3.5 mL, not 3.50 mL), will the results be sufficiently accurate to identify the unknown? Explain

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
(a) A cube of osmium metal 1.500 cm on a side has a mass of76.31 g at 25 °C. What is its density in g/cm3 at this temperature?(b) The density of titanium metal is 4.51g/cm3 at 25 °C.What mass of titanium displaces 125.0 mL of water at 25 °C? (c) The density of benzene at 15 °C is 0.8787 g/mL. Calculatethe mass of 0.1500 L of benzene at this temperature.
Container A and Container B were filled completely with chicken powder. The total mass of 1/3 of the chicken powder in Container B and 1/11 of the chicken powder in Container A was 570 g. If 5/11 of the chicken powder in Container A was poured out, the total mass of the chicken powder in both containers became 2.28 kg. How much chicken powder was in (a) Container A in grams? (b) Container B in grams?
A group of students took turns using a laboratory balanceto weigh the water contained in a beaker. The results theyreported were 111.42 g, 111.67 g, 111.21 g, 135.64 g,111.02 g, 111.29 g, and 111.42 g.(a) Should any of the data be excluded before the average     is calculated?(b) From the remaining measurements, calculate the average value of the         mass of the water in the beaker.(c) Calculate the standard deviation s and, from it, the     95% confidence limit.
