6. What is the density (g/mL) of a sample of mineral oil if 250 mL has a mass of
0.23 kg?
a. 0.0092 g/mL
b. 0.92 g/mL
 c. 5.8 g/mL
d. 10.9 g/mL
e. 57.5 g/mL
Note: The mass of the sample is 0.23kg, which is equal 230g
1kg=1000g 0.23 kg x 1000=230g
230 g /250ml= 0.92 g/ml

Open response questions

1. Give the statement of the Law of Constant Composition. _______________

____ The law of constant composition is a chemistry law which
states samples of a pure compound always contain the same elements
in the same mass proportion.  ________________________________
2. What is the difference between mass and weight? _____________________
___  mass is the actual amount of material contained in a body and is
measured in kg, gm, etc. Whereas weight is the force exerted by the
gravity on that object mg.__________________________________.
3. Describe the procedure how you can measure the volume of the following
object? ___________________________________
_The volume can be measured by water
displacement method. Fill the graduated cylinder till
10ml, put the object in water and again check the
volume of water. The difference between 10ml and
the volume of water with object will be the volume of
object___________________________________

4. What type of graphs would you choose to present the following data? Explain
your answer and draw the graph. _____________________________________
___For this data it is preferable to use bar chart as we will need to compare
different sport categories in term of male and female athletes. Line graph is not
preferable as it is not continuous data and we do not need to see trends over
time____________________________________________________________
