Question

He accepted value for the density of liquid mercury is 13.5336 g/mL. Four scientists measure the density of liquid mercury in their individual laboratories. The most accurate measurement is made by

Answer 1

The most accurate measurement is made by Dr. Smith. He measures this as 13.54 g/ml.

Answer 2

Answer;

-The most accurate measurement is made by ;

C. Dr. Smith, who measures 13.54 g/mL.

Explanation;

-The absolute density (how much a given volume of the substance weighs) of mercury is 13593 kilograms per cubic meter. It can also be stated as 13.56 g/cm^3. Accuracy measures the nearness of a calculation to the true value.

-In this case; the measurement by Dr. Smith is near the true value 13.56 g/cm^3, as compared to the measurements by other scientists.That is Dr. Chopra, who measures 13.487 g/mL. Dr. Thompson, who measures 13.5 g/mL. and Dr. Tyler, who measures 13.9336 g/mL.
