Priya is conducting a density experiment in which the density of a metal is calculated by the formula density = mass/volume. She tests six different metals with volumes between 15 and 32 cubic centimeters (1 cc3 = 1 mL) by first weighing each, and then dropping them into a graduated cylinder with 50.0 mL of water in it and recording the amount of water displaced by reading the new volume off the cylinder.
Answer
A
using a graduated cylinder calibrated with 10 mL intervals
B
using a scale with a variance of 0.0005 to weigh each metal
C
using a graduated cylinder calibrated with 100 mL intervals
D
using a scale that is completely balanced and accurate
