Question

1. If another group measured the density of a cube made out of the same material as you did, should they come out with the same density? Could you have measured the volume of your cube using volume displacement? 2. 3. Could you have measured the volume of your irregularly shaped object using an equation? If a substance has a density of 1.345 g/mL, how many grams would the substance weigh if the sample 4. has a volume of 22.1 mL? 5. What would be the volume of mercury sample that has a mass of 25.735 g? The density of mercury is 13.6 g/mL.

Answer 1

1) yes ideally one should come up with same value of density when it is measured more than once. but due to experimental error and human errors, the numeric value tend to shift either ways during experiment. because density is intensive property which doesn't depend upon mass taken or volume measured. it will be same as long as the material is same
