What was the biggest challenge you had while playing? The biggest challenge I had while playing was trying to say the electron configuration for Au, or gold. What was one thing you learned through playing? One thing I learned through playing is how to do the electron configuration for Au, and also how to strategically place "battleships" using reverse psychology to have my opponent not be able to guess where they were placed.

My partner and I are given the task of trying to determine the mass of a plastic block using its density and volume. We had to have a percent error of less than 5%. The only tool available for us is a ruler, and we were given the density, 2.70 g/cm^3. We started off by determining to use the formula of density=mass/volume to find the mass. First, we needed to find the volume so we used the ruler to measure the length, height, and width of the block, where we got 2.50 cm x 2.50 cm x 2.50 cm. We multiplied these measures together to get the volume, using the formula of volume = length x height x width , where we got 15.625 cm^3. Plugging these values into the formula of density=mass/volume , we got 2.70 g/cm^3 = mass / 15.625 cm^3, and we solved the equation to get 42.1875 grams. Using the properties of significant figures, 42.1875 was simplified to 42.2. Thus, our calculated mass was 42.2 grams. ...
