Question

To determine the density of a solution, you measure the mass and volume of two samples and record the measurements in the following table Trial 1 9.95 Trial 2 9.98 10.08 Mass (g) Volume (mL) 10.1 Which measurement limits the number of significant digits in each of your density determinations? Trial 1 O The mass measurement is limiting O The volume measurement is limiting. O Both measurements are limiting Trial 2: O The mass measurement is limiting. O The volume measurement is limiting. O Both measurements are limiting.

Explanation / Answer

Trial 1

Both mass and volume measurement s have 3 significant figures.

So, both are limiting.

Trial 2

Mass has 3 significant figures but volume has 4 significant figures.

So,

Mass measurement is limiting.
