Question

A student collected the above data for this experiment. What error did he make? Explain. Mass of the Graduated Cylinder

(only air)(g) Mass of the Graduated Cylinder with
Water (g) Calculated Mass of Water (g)
73.7 73.7 0.0

Answer 1

Answer: B

Step-by-step explanation:

What is wrong with the data of the experiment is the calculated mass of water. If there is water in the graduated cylinder and what is required is the exact amount of water, then the instrument used to measure the mass is not that accurate. Having only one decimal place is not enough to detect the mass of water in the cylinder.
