I believe the answer is D, though I'm not entirely certain unfortunately.
Density is defined as the "mass per unit volume" of an object.
Thus, for an object weighing 100 grams with a volume of 100 milliliters, the density calculates to 100 grams / 100 ml.
When weighing the object, if there is water on the scale's surface, it will contribute additional weight, making the object seem heavier than its actual mass. Consequently, you might mistakenly conclude that the density is GREATER than it truly is.
For instance, if there were 5 ml of water on the scale, with water's density being 1 gram per milliliter (1 g/ml), it would add 5 grams to the object's weight. Using the previous example, the object's mass appears as 105 grams instead of 100 grams. Thus, you would calculate:
density = mass / volume
density = 105 grams / 100 ml
density = 1.05 g/ml
Thus, the effect on density would be to misleadingly suggest it is greater.
I hope this is helpful!

The quantity of carbon atoms in the pencil mark amounts to 3 x 10^17. Given that the atomic weight of carbon is 12.01 amu, it follows that 12.01 g of carbon contains 6.022 x 10^23 atoms. Thus, we can set up the equation: 12.01 g carbon/ 6.022 x 10^23 atoms (3 x 10^17 atoms) (12.01 g carbon/ 6.022 x 10^23 atoms). By canceling out the atoms, we have (3 x 10^17) (12.01 g carbon/6.022 x 10^23) and then completing the division and multiplication yields 6 x 10^-6 g of carbon. Therefore, the mass of the pencil mark is 6 x 10^-6 g.
Assuming the edge length of the cube is m.
Since the cube's sides are all equal, you can find its volume using the formula:
volume of cube = m^3
Now, using the provided edge length:
volume = (4.33)^3 = 81.1827 cm^3
According to unit conversion standards, 1 cm^3 = 0.001 liters.
So:
volume of cube = 81.1827 cm^3 = 0.0811827 liters
