Well you would think yeah because it’s a liquid but the answer is no
The density of an ordinay rock is close to 3 g/cm^3 wihle the density of the paper clips is close to 8 g/cm^3 (the density of steel), then equal apparent volumes (same box) will contain different mass, being of course the mass of the box with paper clips much higher than that of the box with rocks.
I believe it is b. you only want to change one thing at a time so you know which one thing caused the effect
Answer:
Explanation:
![\Delta H_{rxn}^{0}=\sum [n_{i}\times \Delta H_{f}^{0}(product)_{i}]-\sum [n_{j}\times \Delta H_{f}^{0}(reactant_{j})]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5CDelta%20H_%7Brxn%7D%5E%7B0%7D%3D%5Csum%20%5Bn_%7Bi%7D%5Ctimes%20%5CDelta%20H_%7Bf%7D%5E%7B0%7D%28product%29_%7Bi%7D%5D-%5Csum%20%5Bn_%7Bj%7D%5Ctimes%20%5CDelta%20H_%7Bf%7D%5E%7B0%7D%28reactant_%7Bj%7D%29%5D)
Where 
and 
are number of moles of product and reactant respectively (equal to their stoichiometric coefficient).
is standard heat of formation and 
is standard enthalpy change for reaction at 
So, ![\Delta H_{rxn}=[3mol\times \Delta H_{f}^{0}(CO_{2})_{g}]+[4mol\times \Delta H_{f}^{0}(H_{2}O)_{g}]-[1mol\times \Delta H_{f}^{0}(C_{3}H_{8})_{g}]-[5mol\times \Delta H_{f}^{0}(O_{2})_{g}]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5CDelta%20H_%7Brxn%7D%3D%5B3mol%5Ctimes%20%5CDelta%20H_%7Bf%7D%5E%7B0%7D%28CO_%7B2%7D%29_%7Bg%7D%5D%2B%5B4mol%5Ctimes%20%5CDelta%20H_%7Bf%7D%5E%7B0%7D%28H_%7B2%7DO%29_%7Bg%7D%5D-%5B1mol%5Ctimes%20%5CDelta%20H_%7Bf%7D%5E%7B0%7D%28C_%7B3%7DH_%7B8%7D%29_%7Bg%7D%5D-%5B5mol%5Ctimes%20%5CDelta%20H_%7Bf%7D%5E%7B0%7D%28O_%7B2%7D%29_%7Bg%7D%5D)
or, ![\Delta H_{rxn}=[3mol\times -393.509kJ/mol]+[4mol\times -241.818kJ/mol]-[1mol\times -103.8kJ/mol]-[5mol\times 0kJ/mol]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5CDelta%20H_%7Brxn%7D%3D%5B3mol%5Ctimes%20-393.509kJ%2Fmol%5D%2B%5B4mol%5Ctimes%20-241.818kJ%2Fmol%5D-%5B1mol%5Ctimes%20-103.8kJ%2Fmol%5D-%5B5mol%5Ctimes%200kJ%2Fmol%5D)
or,
