Answer:
4 mL
Explanation:
Use the density formula, d = m/v
Plug in the density and mass to solve for v:
4 = 16/v
4v = 16
v = 4
So, the volume is 4 mL
Answer:
- <em>The measurements taken by </em><em><u>Jay</u></em><em> are least likely to contain random errors.</em>
Explanation:
All experimental measures are subject to errors.
Even when the colorimeter is properly calibrated and correctly used, there are random errors.
Random errors are are due to fortuitous factors, such as minor oversight by the observer or small changes of the conditions under which the measurements are made.
You can minimize the random errors by increasing the number of measurements, because the random errors tend to happen in any direction; some measures will be greater and other will be less than the true value.
Chance will make that errors in on direction cancel with errors in the opposed direction, making the average the best measure.
Thus, <em>Jay</em>, by <em>repeating the experiment five times and taking the average measurement</em>, is making that<em> his measurements are</em> <em>least likely to contain random errors.</em>

Alloys are mixtures of metals and other elements, which still keeps many characteristics of metal.
Alloys are sometimes desirable as they have some properties that the original metals don't, for example more flexibility or less fragility. Steel is such an alloy: it prevents movement of iron parts, making it stronger.
