Lab#1: Measurements and Significant Figures
In Lab #1, I learned to measure the density of water by using the formula of density which is D(density)=M(mass)/V(Volume). It is important to pay attention to the units when measuring mass and volume. Additionally, we learned about the significance of figures in a measurement and how to determine the appropriate number of digits to express in a calculation based on these figures. We focused on two particularly important concepts in measurement: accuracy and precision. Accuracy refers to how close a measurement is to the true value and for precision which measures consistency between individual measurements. And then I used Excel to do graphing to visually represent relationships between variables. To conduct my experiment accurately in my lab manual. The experiment is divided into two parts, Part A focuses on measuring the density of water and Part B deals with measuring the accuracy and precision of volumetric devices. In Part A, I needed a clean and dry 50mL graduated cylinder and an analytical balance. Firstly, I measured the empty graduated cylinder and then added water up to 9mL. Next, I used a dropper to add water until it reached the 10mL mark and then weighed it again to determine the mass of the water and the graduated cylinder. I repeated this process for the 30mL and 50mL marks. Part B, I poured about 10mL of water into a 150mL beaker to measure the temperature using a thermometer. Next, I obtained a clean dry 50mL beaker and weighed it empty to determine its mass. Then, I used a graduated cylinder to measure 10mL of water and poured it into the 50mL beaker to determine its mass. I repeated this process two more times to get three values. The goal for Lab #1 was to measure the density of water accurately and precisely and compare the measured value with the true value.
Sample of the calculation
29.1812g - 19.8295g = 9.3517g 49.0974g - 19.8295g = 29.2679g
68.8686g - 19.8295g = 49.0391g
D = M/V D = M/V D = M/V
= 9.3517g/10.0mL = 29.2679g/30.0mL = 49.0391g/30.0mL
= 0.93517g/mL =0.975596667g/mL = 0.980782g/mL Temperature 24c
10.2059+9.8361+10.2775/3 = 10.1056

10.2775 - 10.1056 = 0.1719 9.7967- 9.819066667= 0.05236

Using the data below (included for context), what is the equation for the trendline for the data points that fall in the linear range (linear range was found to be timepoints 1 min to 4 min,)? Your answer should be in the form of y = mx + b. Make sure that your trendline only includes the data points that fall in the linear range. In order to determine the trendline using Excel, you may need to create a new graph that only includes the earlier data points.

The ability to convert from one system of units to another is important in
chemistry. It is often impractical to measure quantities in the standard
meters, kilograms, and seconds, but the laws of science that you learn will
involve constants that are defined in these units. Therefore, you may often
have to convert your measured quantities into different metric units.
The following table lists metric prefixes that come up frequently in
chemistry. Learning these prefixes will help you in the various exercises.
Once you know this, you need to divide one side by the other to obtain a ratio of m to mm:
1 m

1000 mm
If you are converting from millimeters to meters, then this is the proper ratio. It has mm in the denominator, so that it will cancel the units of the quantity that you are converting. For

The first instrument we will use in lab is called a graduated cylinder. A graduated cylinder reads
starting from zero at the bottom and goes up as liquid fills it.
Keep in mind that you should always estimate one digit further than what is marked on the device
to preserve your significant figures. For example, if the device has 1.0 mL increments, the
measurement can be estimated to the second decimal place. For the graduated cylinder below,
what would be the correct volume reading considering that the markings are in milliliters? Hint:

Leaming Goal:
To learn how to round an answer to the correct number of significant
figures.
Multiplication and division
When multiplying or dividing, the final answer is rounded to the same number of significant figures as the measured number with the fewest significant figures.
When we report a measurement in science, we are careful to report only
digits known with certainty, plus a final digit that is recognized to be
uncertain. We call this set of digits significant figures. Often, these numbers
are used in calculations. When we use a calculator, the calculator does not
automatically account for significant figures, so we have to do so ourselves.
There are some basic rules for handling significant figures in calculations as
shown in the table and outlined to the right.
Addition and subtraction
When adding or subtracting, the final answer is rounded to the same number of digits to the right of the decimal point as the measured number with the fewest digits to the right of
