Explanation
## Step 1: Calculate the volume of Chip A### The volume of the chip is the difference between the volume of the liquid and chip and the volume of the liquid alone when the liquid does *not* fill the pores.
## Step 2: Calculate the volume of the pores in Chip A### The volume of the pores is the difference between the volume of the liquid and chip and the volume of the liquid alone when the liquid *does* fill the pores.
## Step 3: Calculate the porosity of Chip A### Porosity is the ratio of the volume of the pores to the total volume of the chip, expressed as a percentage.
