In order to determine the mass of the water sample, you would need to know the density of water. The density of water is approximately 1 g/cm3. Therefore, the mass of a 20 cm3 sample of water would be 20 grams (20 cm3 * 1 g/cm3 = 20 grams).
To determine mass, you also need the density of the substance. Mass = volume x density. Without the density, we cannot calculate the mass.
The density is calculated by dividing the mass by the volume. In this case, the density would be 80g / 20cm^3 = 4 g/cm^3.
A wet metal sample can have water molecules attached to its surface, which can affect its mass and volume measurements. Removing water ensures accurate data and prevents errors in calculations.
The density of the sample can be calculated by dividing the mass of the sample (35.4g) by its volume (36.82 mL). Density = Mass/Volume Density = 35.4g / 36.82 mL Density = 0.962 g/mL
Initial water content in the soil sample can be calculated using the initial mass and final mass after drying. Initial water content = (Initial mass - Final mass) = 1.38 kg - 1.13 kg = 0.25 kg. This is the mass of water in the soil sample.
