Question
- A. 2 g/cm³ ? P43-011 density measurement and calculation
- B. P43-011 trap: this swaps density measurement and calculation for a neighbouring particle-model idea.
- C. P43-011 trap: this omits density, liquid, balance from the explanation.
- D. P43-011 trap: this answer belongs outside Density of materials.
Answer
The correct answer is 2 g/cm³ ? P43-011 density measurement and calculation.
Explanation
Definition lens: Give the precise definition, then add a context sentence that shows how it is used. This question asks: If a liquid has a mass of 200 grams and occupies a volume of 100 cm³, what is its density (Density of materials) ?. The correct response is 2 g/cm³ ? P43-011 density measurement and calculation, because density links mass and volume, so the answer must preserve which quantity is being calculated. In Density of materials, the marking point should connect directly to describe how to determine the density of a liquid using a balance and measuring cylinder. If the question includes values, the working must keep the appropriate unit and operation; if it is an explanation, it must name the relevant particle behaviour or energy change. This item belongs to Changes of state and the particle model, so avoid answers that switch to a different quantity, confuse heat with temperature, or describe gas pressure without collisions when collisions are the reason. Checkpoint 90 is distinct because it uses this exact question context and the definition lens rather than a generic particle-model sentence.
Common mistake
Common Mistake in Density Calculation
Students often confuse mass and volume when calculating the density of a liquid, leading to incorrect density values.
Always ensure to use the correct values for mass and volume, and remember that density is calculated as density = mass / volume.
