Each person obtains a reading of 2.50 g for the mass of the standard. Describe the accuracy and precision of the balance based on these results. Is the balance accurate? _N_ Is the balance precise? __Y__ Explain: __The measurements were consistently close to each other (precise), but not close to the true value (not accurate). 8.

After seeing water droplets form on the outside of a cold glass of iced tea, a scientist posed the question, “What changes in the temperature of iced tea and the humidity of a room will increase the rate and formation of water droplets on a glass?” She read several articles and textbook chapters about water molecules, condensation, evaporation, heat, and temperature. She proposed that lowering the temperature of iced tea and lowering the humidity of the room would increase the rate and formation of water droplets on a glass. After analyzing the information further and reading even more sources, she deduced that decreasing the temperature of the iced tea and increasing the humidity of a room will increase the rate and formation of water droplets on a glass.

She uses an electronic balance to measure a metal strip of 50.0 g and adds it to the flask. She uses the apparatus to the right to collect and measure the hydrogen gas produced under a standard pressure of 1 atmosphere. metal strip in acid The student continues her experiment using 20.0 g, 10.0 g, and 5.0 g metal strips. She carefully measures and records the volume of gas formed each time. The data table is shown below.

A student must find the mass of a sample of sulfur powder. The equipment he has available are a triple beam balance, plastic weighing dish, and a scoopula. Describe a procedure for how the student can find the mass of the powder. 1) Mass the empty plastic weighing dish with the triple-beam balance. 2) Place the sulfur powder in the dish with the scoopula and mass the dish again. 3) Subtract the two masses to determine the mass of just the sulfur without the dish. ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ 27.

Lighter objects are less dense. Density depends only on the substance, not the amount of it. The density of an object depends on mass and volume, not weight and volume. 7
