Suppose you were measuring out an organic liquid, and some of it is evaporated after you have performed the volumetric measurement while you are weighing out the sample. What effect would this have on the densities you calculated? Will you overestimate or underestimate the density of the liquid? Would this cause poor accuracy, low precision, or both? Explain briefly.
An electric current of 485.0 mA transports 760. uC of charge. Calculate the time this took.
Be sure your answer has the correct unit symbol and 3 significant digits.
