calculate the density of the alcohol you used if the mass was 54.3g and the volume was 8mL. If the accepted value for the density of alcohol is .79 g/mL, was your value considered a 'good one'? You will need to calculate % error to determine this answer.

Question

Joe348 · Answer

Density is calculated by dividing the mass by the volume. So, the density would be 54.3g / 8mL = 6.7875 g/mL. To determine if your value is considered "good," you can calculate the percent error using the accepted value of 0.79 g/mL.

Not sure if this is what you're looking for but this would be an example of how to check.
