Mass of aluminum shot (given on outside of packet) 19.9 g
B. Follow-Up Questions (Show all calculations)
Part I (Each question is worth 10 points.)
1. Convert the length and height measurements for the packet that contains the aluminum shot from units of cm to units of mm using the unit-factor method.
Cm is converted to mm using the equation mm= cm/0.10000. So, when you place the 5 or 6.5 cm measurement in the equation you get 5cm= 50 mm and 6.5cm = 65 mm.
2. Convert the temperature measurements for the faucet water and the ice water from oC to oF, using the following equation: oF = 1.8(oC) + 32.
Using the above equation, 26◦ c = 78.8◦ f and 7◦ c= 44.6◦ f
3. Convert the volumes of the water in the 10-mL and 50-mL graduated cylinders from mL to L, using the unit-factor method.
Using the equation to covert ml to l which is L= mL/1000, we find that 7.1 mL = 0.0071000L and 7ml = 0.0070000L
