Question

A student collected the above data for this experiment. What error did he make? Explain. Mass of the Graduated Cylinder

Answer 1

What is wrong with the data of the experiment is the calculated mass of water. If there is water in the graduated cylinder and what is required is the exact amount of water, then the instrument used to measure the mass is not that accurate. Having only one decimal place is not enough to detect the mass of water in the cylinder.

Answer 2

Answer:

The mass did not change after adding water, but it should have increased. The electronic mass balance may not have been tared properly. The student may have misrecorded the data.

Explanation:

these are the statements that show up after you write your answer and click "done." it will say "What information did you include in your answer? Check all that apply," and these are the answers you can mark off. so you may want to re-word them a little in your answer so it's not obvious you cheated. either way, you should get it right. hope this helps!
