When you walked in to Mrs. Bateast's lab today, you noticed that your partner group had a 0.05432 ml mixture sample of sand and water in a beaker. When your group began the lab to separate the mixture in to different weight boats, you thought it would be very difficult to remove the sand. As a result, you added another 5.2ml of water to assist with removing it. a. Which separate method should be used to quickly and effectively separate the two substances. Explain why you chose this method. b. Determine the number of significant figures in your original sample. c. How much total mixture did you have after adding additional water. (provide the equation, calculator answer and the final answer rounding to the correct number of significant figures.
