Question

question 5 0.5 pts if a student determined that the volume of a sample of water is 11.4 ml, and its mass is 10.98 g, what should the student record as the experimental density of the water sample, with the correct number of significant figures? 0.96g/ml 1.038g/ml 0.963g/ml 125g/ml 1.04g/ml

Explanation:

Step1: Recall density formula

$\text{density}=\frac{\text{mass}}{\text{volume}}$

Step2: Substitute values

$\text{density}=\frac{10.98\ g}{11.4\ mL}=0.963157\ g/mL$

Step3: Round to significant figures

0.96 g/mL (3 significant figures)

Answer:

0.96g/mL
