Suppose you were calibrating a 100.0 ml volumetric flask using distilled water. the flask temperature was at 20°c, and you assumed that the distilled water was as well. however, you later discover that the actual water temperature was 12°c instead. how is the mass of the 100.0 ml of distilled water you measured at 12°c different from the mass of 100.0 ml of distilled water at 20°c?
