Answer:
A. In a graduated cylinder, put some quantity of water and measure the initial volume. Then put a coin and measure the volume. To find the volume of the coin, simply subtract the initial volume (water only) from the ending volume (water + coin). To measure the mass, take a dry coin and place it on an electronic scale. Density = mass / volume, so divide the mass by the volume to calculate the density of the coin.
B. When measuring the volume, make sure to look at the graduated cylinder at eye level and read from the bottom of the meniscus.
The answer is yes. A chemical change occurred.
Chemical change is defined as the rearrangement or alteration in the of atoms in one or more substance which result in the formation of a new substance.
In the above, you mixed two clear liquids and the result was a new substance which is a colored solid precipitate at the bottom of the beaker.
This means that changes in the atoms of the two clear liquids occurred leading to the formation of this new solid substance.
This means that chemical change has occurred.
Hope this helps :)
