2. In attempting to calculate the density of chloroform, \( \mathrm{CHCl} \), Xander determines the following densities: \( 1
2. In attempting to calculate the density of chloroform, \( \mathrm{CHCl} \), Xander determines the following densities: \( 1.28 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{mL} \), \( 1.24 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{mL}, 1.19 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{mL}, 1.22 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{mL}, 0.812 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{mL} \), and \( 1.17 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{mL} \). A) Would it be reasonable for Xander to leave out any values in calculating the average? Why or why not? (Consider your answer here in responding to the rest of the question.) B) Calculate the average density of chloroform from his data. C) What is the relative range? D) If the accepted density of chloroform is \( 1.48 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{mL} \), what is the percent error? E) Was Xander's data accurate? Was it precise? Explain.
