Measuring Density
1.
(4 points) (a) Show a sample calculation of the density for one of your trials.
(b) Calculate the average
density of your unknown liquid, and (c) calculate the absolute error in the density.
(d) Report your final
result as the avg. density ± absolute error, rounded appropriately and including units.
Show all of your
calculations using the Equation Editor function in Microsoft Word.
{Show calculations and type the properly formatted final result here.
You can delete this text.}
2.
(1.5 points) What is the percent error in the density of your unknown liquid?
Again, show your work using
Equation Editor and report your final result as avg. density ± % error.
{Type calculation and answer here.}
3.
(2.5 points) (a) List the number of your unknown liquid and what you determined its identity to be.
(b)
Based on your absolute error, is your average density value in agreement with the known value?
(c) Show
your percent difference calculation.
{Type answers and calculation here.}
Determining “Room Temperature”
4.
(2.5 points) (a) Calculate the average room temperature for the lab, and (b) calculate the absolute error in the
temperature.
Show your work.
(c) Report your final result as avg. temp. ± absolute error, including units.
(d) Additionally,
explain
in words why you rounded your absolute error and average temperature values as
you did.
{Type calculations and answer here.}
5.
(1.5 points) What is the percent error in the average room temperature?
Express your result as avg. temp. ±
% error.
Show your work.
{Type calculation and answer here.}
6.
(1 point) What are some potential sources of error/variability in your temperature measurements, i.e., what
might be causing the differences in the measured temperatures?
List and explain as many as you can.
Note
that “human error” is a mistake, not a legitimate source of error.
Do not list “human error.”
{Type answer here.}
7.
(2 points) Compare your average lab temperature to that of another group.
Are the results different enough
(considering the absolute errors/uncertainties) that you can consider your result different from the other
group’s result?
Is it possible that you are both reporting acceptable values, even though you may be
reporting different values for the average?
Be sure to report the values you are comparing and to
explain
your answer, using the errors in both measurements to support your argument.
Your value:
_____ ± _____°C
Other group’s value:
_____ ± _____°C
{Type answer here.}

You won the lottery and you want to give 5.00 million dollars to the animal shelter, by leaving it on its door step.
a. (Use Dimensional analysis , significant figures, scientific notation and re-write the answer using prefixes.) How heavy is the bag(s) with the 5.00 million dollars, assuming the bag weight is negligible and that you only used 100dll bills? (one 100 dll bill = 1.00 gram).
b. (Dimensional analysis) What is the volume all of the bills would occupy. Every bill is the size of 155.81mm x 66.42mm X 0.10 mm. (1 mm3 = 1 x 10-9 m3 and 1L =0.001m3) Volume = Length * Height * Width, or V = L * H * W. Express the answer in liters
c. (density) Assuming it all fit in one bag, how dense would that bag be?
