Laboratory Techniques and Measurements
Purpose
The purpose of this experiment is to determine mass, length, temperature, volume, and density of objects and liquids using common measuring devices and algebraic formulas. The metric system, the most common set of measurements used in science, which includes meters, liters, Celsius, and grams will be used.
Procedure
The following items were used within the experiment:
(1) Metric ruler with centimeter (cm) and millimeter (mm), (1) table salt, (1) small number of ice cubes, (1) piece of string, (1) isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol, (1) tap water, (1) distilled water, 25 mL, (1) paper, 5 cm x 5 cm for weighing chemicals, (1) colored drink, (1) beaker, 100 mL, glass (1) burner-fuel, (1) burner-stand, (1) cylinder, 25 mL, (1) 23-mL volumetric flask, (1) Pipet, Serological 2mL, (1) Bulb, Rubber (1) Goggles-Saftey, (1) Scale-Digital-500g, (1) Test Tube (1), 13 x 100 mm, (1) Thermometer, (1) Bolt, (1) Magnet bar, (1) Pipet, Empty Short Stem
The following steps were taken:
Prior to commencing the experiment all scientific measurements were reviewed, along with formulas to convert linear Systeme Internationale (S) with other comparable units. The following was reviewed:
