A student finds the density of some cooking oil.
The Table shows the student's measurements.
Table
| Measurement | Value |
|---|---|
| mass of empty measuring cylinder in g\text{g}g | 85.0 |
| mass of measuring cylinder and oil in g\text{g}g | 131.0 |
| volume of oil in cm3\text{cm}^{3}cm3 | 50.0 |
Calculate the mass of the oil.
Calculate the density of the oil in g/cm3\text{g/cm}^{3}g/cm3.
Give the density of the oil in kg/m3\text{kg/m}^{3}kg/m3.
The density of water is 1.0 g/cm3.
The student pours some of the oil into a beaker of water.
Explain where the oil will be after a few minutes.
Suggest one way the student could improve the accuracy of the value for the density of the oil.
