Explain the difference between precision and accuracy.
Accuracy - how close the measurement is to the actual value
precision - the consistency of measurements.

The mass of a piece of lead is 13.0 grams. The density of lead is 11.35g/cc
d = m/v
v= m/d
v= 13.0/11.35
v = 1.14 g/cm3

The density of copper is 8.92 g/cm3.If it has a volume of 25.0cm3, what is the mass (g)?
(v)d=m/v(v)
m=d(v)
8.92(25.0) = 223 g
