Question

Poir Gra Des Polic Sapling Learning Map dt Suppose you were calibrating a 50.0 mL volumetric flask using distilled water. The flask temperature was at 20c and you assumed that the distilled water was as well. However, you later discover that the actual water temperature was 12°C instead. How is the mass of the 50.0 mL of distilled water you measured at 12°C different from the mass of 50.0 mL of distilled water at 20°C? You You give It is less than the mass of water at 20 It has the same mass as the water at 20°C. It is greater than the mass of water at 20°C O unti You ans atte If the masses are different, is the error in mass due to the temperature difference a systematic or random eTe It is neither a systematic or random error because the masses are the same. O It is both a systematic and random error. It is a systematic error. O It is a random error O Tech

Explanation / Answer

* Mass of a substance is not dependent on the temperature.

So, mass of water at 200Cis same as at 12 0C

** The error may be due to systematic error.
