Chapter 2, Problem 100E
For each box, examine the blocks attached to the balances. Based on their positions and sizes, determine which block is more dense (the dark block or the lighter-colored block), or if the relative densities cannot be determine d. (Think carefully about the information being shown.)

Which statement about a volumetric flask is correct?
Each volumetric flask has several calibration marks (on the neck of the flask), so measuring of several volumes is possible.
A volumetric flask is used when a graduated cylinder is not available.
Each flask only measures one particular volume.
A graduated cylinder measures volume more precisely and accurately than a volumetric flask.
If a sample of gold alloy has a mass of 87.7 g and is 78.3% gold by mass, what percentage of the alloy is made up of other metals? Write your answer to the nearest tenth of a percent.
(I had to alter the wording of this question since it wasn't calculating significant figures properly, so if you got it wrong because of significant figures you can assume you probably actually got it correct.)
4. Describe at least three systematic errors that might occur while weighing a solid on an analytical balance.

A student weighs an empty special round bottom flask and stopper. He finds the mass to be 56.972 g. He then adds about 5 mL of an unknown liquid and heats the flask in a boiling water bath at 100°C. He allows all the liquid to vaporized and then removes the flask from the bath, stoppers it, and lets it cool. Upon cooling, he briefly removes the stopper, then replaces it and weighs the flask and condensed vapor, obtaining a mass of 57.917 g. The volume of the flask is known to be 240.2 mL.
