Title: Measuring Physical Properties of Matter in the Laboratory

Objectives At the end of the activity the students are expected to :

 To use standard laboratory measurement devices for extension properties
of sample matter.
 To use these measurements to determine the mass and volumes ( both
regular & irregular shape matter)
 To determine the density of the samples , both for solid and liquid.
 To calculate the density of a solid and liquid

Performance The learners should be able to present how water behaves in its different states
Standard within the water cycle

Description Students in this course will measure and observe quantitaive physical properties of
matter such as: mass , volume and density.

Chemistry is the study of matter. Our understanding of chemical processes thus

depends on our ability to acquire accurate information about matter. Often, this
information is quantitative, in the form of measurements. In this lab, you will be
introduced to some common measuring devices, and learn how to use them to
obtain correct measurements.
Introduction
Matter is anything that occupies space and has mass.

Mass is defined as how much matter comprises an object. Mass, despite

its International System of Units measure of kilograms, is often confused with
weight, which is the gravitational attraction between an object and the Earth.
Mass is calculated as the product of an object's volume and density. Volume is a
measure of the space occupied by an object. Density is defined as mass per unit
volume. Take note that density can be calculated using the formula:

D = m/v where: D means density in kg/L or kg/m3

m means mass in kilogram (kg)
v means volume in Liter (L) or cubic meter (m3)

Mass measures the amount of matter in a substance or an object.

Volume measures the amount of space that a substance or an object takes
up. The basic SI unit for volume is the cubic meter (m3).

Use sample from Activity 1-4. And calculate for Density
Density = mass ( grams) / volume ( mL)
= gram/mL
