Question

Q1: Practice in density calculations. Some pranksters managed to get a hold of some ethylene glycol, adipic acid and aromatic diisocyanate and filled a U-Haul van full of polyurethane foam. A U-Haul van has a volume of 236 cubic feet. If polyurethane foam has a density of 35.00 kg/m3 how much does the foam weigh in pounds?

Q2: The accepted value for the density of a certain liquid is 1.03 g/mL. A student obtains an average density of 0.9 g/mL. What is the relative percent error in the student's value. DO NOT include the percent sign in your answer. Express your answer to two decimal places.

Q3: A cylinder of length 5.58 in and radius 2.2 cm has a mass of 2.82 pounds. What is the density of the material in grams per cubic centimeter?

Q4: A rectangle of length 6.39 in., height 3.72 cm, and depth 271 mm has a mass of 172.2 ounces. What is the density of the material in grams per centimeters?

Q5: Consider the following set of measurements made by a student for an object with an accepted mass of 10.10 g
10.11 g
10.08 g
10.12 g
10.09 g

Both A and B are true

A.

These measurements are accurate

B.

These measurements are precise

C.

These measurements are precise but inaccurate

D.

These measurements are accurate but imprecise

E.

Both A and B are true

Explanation / Answer

1. 6.68278*35 Kg = 515.65 pounds

2. 12.62

3. 1279.13/(215.507) = 5.935 gm/cc

4. 2.983 gm/cc

5. Both A and B are true (high accuracy high precision)
