EXPERIMENT 1
MEASUREMENTS
Chemistry is an experimental science. Laboratory observations in chemistry often involve
making measurements and using these measurements in calculations. Measurements that are
frequently utilized in the study of chemistry include the measurement of mass, volume, density
and temperature.
Any measurement consists of three parts: a number that tells the amount of the
quantity measured, a unit that tells the nature of the quantity being measured, and some degree
of uncertainty or error. The error in a measurement is the difference between the true value of
the quantity measured and the measured value. The smaller the error, the more accurate is the
result. Accuracy refers to how close a measurement comes to the true or accepted value.
Accuracy of an experimental result is often expressed in terms of percentage error.
In this experiment, you will measure the mass of a solid and its dimensions, the mass of
a liquid and its volume, and use these to determine their densities. You will then determine the
accuracy of your results by computing for the percentage error.
OBJECTIVES
1. To acquire skills in measuring length, mass and volume and use these to
calculate density

MATERIALS
SAFETY PRECAUTION
Always wear your lab gown and protective goggles. Exercise care and caution in
manipulating laboratory equipment and in handling your glass wares. Avoid accidents in the lab
by always thinking of your own safety and the safety of your classmates.

10 80.82
20 89.52
30 100.62
40 110.72
50 122.12
Clean the pans of the balances used with a tissue paper. Make sure that chemicals accidentally
spilled in your working table are thoroughly wiped off.
Return the vegetable oil to your lab instructor and wash all used glass wares with soap and
water to be ready for use for the next experiment.
