To determine the density of grains, a student uses a 50ml beaker graded by 5ml increments and a scale with 1g absolute uncertainty. The measurement of the volume results in 3 full beakers and 1 beaker filled up to 30ml. Measured mass of a plastic container with all the grains is 185 grams; measured mass of the same container without grains is 65 grams. What is the mass of the grains

Answer:

The mass of the grains = 120 ± 1 g

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given the following:

Total mass of container + grains = 185 grams

Mass of container = 65 grams

Therefore, mass of grains is calculated as follows:

Mass of grains = ( Mass of container + grains) - mass of container

= 185 - 65 = 120 grams.

since the scale has an absolute uncertainty of 1 g, the mass of the grains is written as 120 ± 1 g
