3. A student measured the mass and volume of the mineral
crystal below and recorded the data shown below. The
student used these data to calculate the density of the
crystal.
What will be the student's percent error using the
recorded data if the actual density of the crystal is 2.7
grams per cubic centimeter?
4. During a laboratory activity, four students each
determined the density of the same piece of granite. The
results are shown in the table below.
The accepted value for the density of granite is 2.70
grams per cubic centimeter. What is the percent error for
each student? What could cause the density to be
different for each student?

A student accurately measured the mass of a sample of
one of the four minerals to be 294.4 grams and its
volume to be 73.6 cm 3. Which mineral sample did the
student measure?
17. As shown below, an empty 1,000.-milliliter container
has a mass of 250.0 grams. When filled with a liquid,
the container and the liquid have a combined mass of
1,300. grams.
