Question

sort the data collected about the element copper into qualitative or quantitative data. red - orange color, density of 8.96 g·cm⁻³, easy to stretch into wire, melting point of 1084.62°c, standard atomic mass of 63.546, solid at room temperature

Explanation:

• Qualitative data is non - numerical, descriptive information. "red - orange color" describes the appearance, "easy to stretch into wire" describes a property, and "solid at room temperature" describes the state. These are non - numerical descriptions.
• Quantitative data is numerical and can be measured. "density of \(8.96\space g/cm^{-3}\)" has a numerical value with a unit, "melting point of \(1084.62^{\circ}C\)" is a numerical measurement, and "standard atomic mass of \(63.546\)" is a numerical value.

Answer:

Qualitative Data

• red - orange color
• easy to stretch into wire
• solid at room temperature

Quantitative Data

• density of \(8.96\space g/cm^{-3}\)
• melting point of \(1084.62^{\circ}C\)
• standard atomic mass of \(63.546\)
