Question Description
All of the directions are in the file I added below. This is the lab. I would prefer if you would print out the lab and directly write onto it and then send me pictures of the lab.Chemistry 151 College of the Canyons Week 3 – Introduction to Volume, Mass, and Density Fall 2020 Name __________________________________ Date ____________________________ Section_________________________________ INTRODUCTION Volume is defined as the amount of space that is occupied by a solid object. Because liquids and gases also occupy space, they also have a volume. The metric unit for volume is the Liter (L). Volume can also be measured in cubic centimeters (cm3), or ‘cc’. One cubic centimeter is the volume of a cube that is 1 cm wide, 1 cm deep and 1 cm high. Because 1 mL is equal to 1 cm3, dimensional volumes can be easily converted to liters. The volume of a regularly-shaped solid is calculated depending on its shape and dimensions. (e.g. length, (l), height, (h), width, (w), and radius, (r)). The formulas for calculating the volume of a regularly-shaped solid are found in Table 1.1. Table 1.1 – Volume Formulas for Calculating Volumes of Regularly-Shaped Solids Volume of a Regularly-Shaped Solid Formula Cube lxwxh Sphere 4/3 πr3 radius = r = ½ the diameter Cylinder πr2h Many solids do not have a regular shape. The volume of these irregularly-shaped solids is determined by volume displacement, the volume of water that a solid displaces when it is immersed in water. An example of how to correctly calculate volume displacement is shown below.
