Question

The handbook of chemistry and physics lists the density of a certain liquid to be 0.7988 g/mL. Taylor experimentally finds this liquid to have a density of 0.7925 g/mL. The teacher allows up to +/- 0.500% error to make an “A” on the lab. Did Taylor make an “A”?

Answer 1

Yes

Explanation:

0.7988-0.5= 0.7488

0.7988+0.5= 1.2988

0.7925 lies between these values.

however, are you certain that the question has 0.500 as the uncertainty not 0.050
