PLEASE HELP!

Answer 1

I have no idea what you mean when you say "The following STATE were collected...."

Answer 2

oh, i am sorry. I meant "data"

Answer 3

To find the mass of the sample (g) in each trial, you need to use the density (D) and the volume of the sample (mL). The density is given as 1.01 g/mL.

To find the mass of the sample (g), you can use the formula:

Mass of sample (g) = Volume of sample (mL) * Density (g/mL)

Let's calculate the mass of the sample for each trial:

Trial 1:
Mass of sample (g) = 25.0 mL * 1.01 g/mL = 25.25 g

Trial 2:
Mass of sample (g) = 20.0 mL * 1.01 g/mL = 20.20 g

Trial 3:
Mass of sample (g) = 50.0 mL * 1.01 g/mL = 50.50 g

Trial 4:
Mass of sample (g) = 25.0 mL * 1.01 g/mL = 25.25 g

Trial 5:
Mass of sample (g) = 20.0 mL * 1.01 g/mL = 20.20 g

Trial 6:
Mass of sample (g) = 25.0 mL * 1.01 g/mL = 25.25 g

Now we can move on to calculating the mass of solid/mass of the sample (g/g). To find this value, you need to divide the mass of the dry solid (g) by the mass of the sample (g).

Let's calculate the mass of solid/mass of sample (g/g) for each trial:

Trial 1:
Mass of solid/mass of sample (g/g) = 10.767 g / 25.25 g = 0.426 g/g

Trial 2:
Mass of solid/mass of sample (g/g) = 8.436 g / 20.20 g = 0.417 g/g

Trial 3:
Mass of solid/mass of sample (g/g) = 21.770 g / 50.50 g = 0.431 g/g

Trial 4:
Mass of solid/mass of sample (g/g) = 10.826 g / 25.25 g = 0.429 g/g

Trial 5:
Mass of solid/mass of sample (g/g) = 8.671 g / 20.20 g = 0.429 g/g

Trial 6:
Mass of solid/mass of sample (g/g) = 10.942 g / 25.25 g = 0.434 g/g

Now you have calculated the mass of the sample (g) and the mass of solid/mass of sample (g/g) for each trial, expressed with the correct number of significant figures.
