The question is incomplete; the complete question is;
Using a triple beam balance and a graduated cylinder, a student collected data on a sample of an element:
Mass of sample = 18.9 g
Volume of water = 30.0 mL
Volume of water and sample = 35.0 mL
Calculate the density of the sample using sig figs.
Answer:
3.8 g/mL
Explanation:
Mass of sample = 18.9 g
Volume of water = 30.0 mL
Volume of water and sample = 35.0 mL
Volume of the sample = 35.0 mL – 30.0 mL = 5.0 mL
D = m/v
D = 18.9 g / 5.0 mL =3.8 g/mL
