Sarah is in her chemistry lab doing an experiment. When she goes to take the mass of the chemical she is working with, she discovers that the balance is gone! Sarah knows the density of her chemical is 10 g/mL, and the volume is 5 mL. What is the mass of her chemical?

Mass of chemical = 50 gram

Explanation:

Given:

Volume of chemical = 5 ml

Density of chemical = 10 g/mL

Find:

Mass of chemical

Computation:

Mass of chemical = Density of chemical × Volume of chemical

Mass of chemical = 10 × 5

Mass of chemical = 50 gram

it can be observed without changing the identity of the object.

it depends on what substance you're talking about as well as many other factors. in quantum mechanics, the observation of particles affects the observers ability to measure certain properties. for example: you can know the velocity of a particle, but you can't know it's position; or you can know it's position, but not it's velocity. it's like trying to find out where a grain of sand is by throwing other grains of sand at it. once you find out where it is, it's been moved. it's also like trying to find an answer to the question of whether or not a tree falling in a forest makes a sound if nobody is there to hear it. paradoxically, the only way to find out is to be there and hear it.
