24. In order to receive full credit for the questions below, you must show all of your work and use a vertical dashed line to show where the significant figures end in all calculated values. You must show a rounded and unrounded value for each answer and place a box around the final answers for each part. While working in my backyard this weekend I found a meteorite! My chemist friends and I dropped everything and did some chemical analyses. One of the things we found was that the meteorite was composed of a pure element. In order to help us identify the composition of the meteorite, we tried to experimentally determine its density. When the meteorite was placed in 1.2326x10-3 m 3 of water contained in a graduated cylinder, the water level rose to a volume of 1.862x10-3 m 3. a.) What was the volume of the rock in m 3? Make sure your answer is in the proper form of scientific notation. (4 points) b.) What is the volume of the meteorite in ml? You must show all work and use dimensional analysis to receive full credit. (5 points) c.) If the meteorite has a mass of 3.083x10-1 tons, what is the mass in grams? You must show all work and use dimensional analysis to receive full credit. Express your answer in the proper form of scientific notation. (4 points) d.) What is the density of the meteorite in g/ml? (2 points) e.) Besides the fact that we found a meteorite, based on the information given and calculated above, why should we be excited about our discovery? (2 points) 7
