Experiment 1: Measurements of Objects Commonly Found at Home

I. INTRODUCTION

Measurement is the process of associating numbers with physical

quantities and phenomena (Encyclopaedia Brittanica, 2022). It is fundamental to
sciences, as well as to engineering, construction, and other technical fields; and to
almost all everyday activities. Because of this, extensive studies throughout the
centuries have been made to identify the elements, conditions, and limitations of
measurements.

Early forms of measurements were made only with the unaided human
senses which are commonly called as estimates. Systems of measurements were
developed which is a collection of units and rules that are related to them. In
today’s generation, there are 3 main systems of measurements. These are the
International System of Units called the SI units (the modern form of the metric
system), Imperial system, and US customary units that were standardized across
the world. The SI unit is the current international standard for the metric system.

In this experiment, objects that are commonly found at home were gathered
and measured using various measuring tools such as weighing scale, measuring
cup, and ruler. The mass, volume, and dimensions of the gathered objects were
collected to analyze their physical properties.

Measuring the physical properties of these common objects is a great

practice for future experiments that will require the measurement of much complex
chemical compounds and their proper handling. It is also a great way to familiarize
the different units in various systems of units and measurements.

II. PRACTICAL APPLICATION

In general, measurement refers to the process of calculating the amount,

capacity, or dimensions of a particular object or entity. While we consider these
numerous categories as basic types of quantitative measures, a deeper analysis
of what we do in everyday life shows their noticeable significance. Measurement
continues to play a vital part in our daily lives. It is related to and used in everything
from foods and beverages to medicines and directions. Various experts have
highlighted the importance of measurement in expanding human knowledge and
understanding. Without the capacity to measure, it would be hard for scientists to
perform experiments or develop ideas. However, the concept of measurement is
crucial not just in the sciences and the chemical industry but also in farming,
engineering, transportation, industry, marketing, and a variety of other fields and

practices. Measurements are used in almost every career field in some form or
another. Nurses must measure out medication doses, record blood pressure
measurements, and monitor pulses. Statistical analysts, cartographers, and
accountants are among the numerous specialists who utilize conventional
measurements (Prahbu, 2018). In the field of engineering, measurement is the key
to excellent structural development. Not only in the masonry, tile placement, and
mechanical system balancing, but also in the tracking of the contractor's
performance on the project. To recapitulate, measurements are an important
aspect of our everyday lives, both personal and professional.

III. OBJECTIVES

The experimenters seek to understand the concept of measurements and

unit systems, as well as conversion factors and apply them in real life situations.

V. PROCEDURE

Three successive steps make up the experiment's overall conduct: pre-

experiment; experiment proper; and post-experiment procedure. These portions of the
experiment are divided into different steps, each of which is detailed below.

A. Pre-Experiment

Step 1. Plan and discuss ideas for the experiment with your group mates. Set your
goals, objectives, and expected end result.

Step 2. Determine the materials and equipment to be used in the experiment. Plan
where and how to gather them.

Step 3. Decide where and when the experimentation will be best conducted.

Step 4. Prepare and gather the materials and equipment to be used in the
experiment. List all of the steps involved in experimenting.

Step 5. Set the specific unit system to be used in initial measurements.

B. Experiment Proper

1. Using the regularly shaped objects...

Page 5 of 32
 Chem 11 – Chemistry for Engineers
Experiment 1: Measurements of Objects Commonly Found at Home

Step 1. Using the materials and equipment gathered, start with measuring the
regularly shaped objects. Use a ruler to measure the primary dimensions. For the
triangular pyramid, measure its base, height, and mass.

Step 2. For the Jenga piece, measure its height, width, length, and mass.

Step 3. For the spherical-shaped object (basketball), take the measure of its radius
by having the ruler's 0-unit value placed parallel to the center of the sphere, and
extended to its side. The measure of the radius will be the length parallel from the
center of the ball to its side (circumference).

Step 4. Record the measurements of the dimensions of regularly shaped objects.

Step 5. Calculate the following using the data acquired.

1 3
Surface area of the triangular pyramid (𝑆𝐴 = (𝑏ℎ) + (𝑏𝐻))
2 2

1
Volume of the triangular pyramid (𝑉 = 𝐴𝐻)

Surface area of the Jenga piece (𝑆𝐴 = 2𝑙𝑤 + 2𝑙ℎ + 2𝑤ℎ)

Volume of the Jenga piece (𝑉 = 𝑤ℎ𝑙)

Surface area of the ball (𝑆𝐴 = 4𝜋𝑟 2 )

4
Volume of the ball (𝑉 = 𝜋𝑟 3 )
3

Step 6. From the acquired measurements, calculate the density of each object by
using the formula:
𝑚𝑎𝑠𝑠
𝐷𝑒𝑛𝑠𝑖𝑡𝑦 =
𝑣𝑜𝑙𝑢𝑚𝑒

2. Using the irregularly shaped solid objects…

Step 1. To get the volume of the irregularly shaped solid objects, use the water
displacement method.
Page 6 of 32
 Chem 11 – Chemistry for Engineers
Experiment 1: Measurements of Objects Commonly Found at Home

Step 2. Pour water into the measuring cup. Record the volume of the water before
submerging the object using a weighing scale.

Step 3. Measure the mass of the irregularly shaped solid object before putting it
into the water and submerged.

Step 4. Record the final volume of the water.

Step 5. To get the volume of the irregularly shaped solid objects, subtract the
volume of the water alone (initial volume) from the volume of the water plus the
object (final volume).

𝑉𝑜𝑙𝑢𝑚𝑒(𝑜𝑏𝑗𝑒𝑐𝑡) = 𝑉𝑜𝑙𝑢𝑚𝑒(𝑤𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑟 + 𝑜𝑏𝑗𝑒𝑐𝑡) – 𝑉𝑜𝑙𝑢𝑚𝑒(𝑤𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑟)

3. Using liquids…

Step 1. Gather the desired amount of each liquid (soft drinks, fish sauce,
dishwashing liquid) and the materials to be used.

Step 2. Settle the measuring cup on a flat surface. Using the weighing scale,
measure the mass of the measuring cup first.

Step 3. Pour each liquid into the measuring cup and measure its mass. Determine
their volume by reading the line in the measuring cup that is parallel to the liquid's
top surface.

Step 4. Record the weighted mass of each liquid. Subtract the mass of the
measuring cup (container) from the weighted mass of each liquid. In formula:

𝑚𝑎𝑠𝑠 𝑜𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑙𝑖𝑞𝑢𝑖𝑑

= (𝑚𝑎𝑠𝑠 𝑜𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑙𝑖𝑞𝑢𝑖𝑑 𝑤𝑖𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑛 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑡𝑎𝑖𝑛𝑒𝑟) – (𝑚𝑎𝑠𝑠 𝑜𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑡𝑎𝑖𝑛𝑒𝑟)

Step 5. Calculate the densities of the liquids using the formula:

𝑚𝑎𝑠𝑠
𝐷𝑒𝑛𝑠𝑖𝑡𝑦 =
𝑣𝑜𝑙𝑢𝑚𝑒

After computing for the densities of each object, we can use these densities to find the
specific gravity of each. Use the formula:

Experiment 1: Measurements of Objects Commonly Found at Home

𝜌𝑠𝑢𝑏𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑒
𝑅𝐷 =
𝜌𝑟𝑒𝑓𝑒𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑐𝑒 (𝑤𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑟)

C. Post-Experiment

Step 1. Validate the computations and recorded measurements of the objects

utilized in the experiment.

Step 2. Clean up the area where the experiment was conducted. Return the used
materials to their proper place and always keep appropriate disposal in mind.

Step 3. Verify the calculations and formulas used to derive the values are accurate.

Step 4. Discuss the collected data with the group and begin filling out the lab
report.

VI. DATA GATHERING

The data from the experiment were carefully gathered and arranged in the
tables below. Using the mass, volume, and dimensions recorded, computed data
such as the volume and surface area for the regular solid objects, their individual
density and specific gravity were also calculated and are shown in the table below.

VII. POST LAB QUESTIONS/ACTIVITY

I. Answer and briefly explain (or give examples for) the following :

Page 9 of 32
 Chem 11 – Chemistry for Engineers
Experiment 1: Measurements of Objects Commonly Found at Home

1. True or False. The heavier the object, the larger the volume.
 True. Volume is equal to mass divided by density, therefore if the
mass of the item is bigger than the volume, we may assume that the
volume is likewise greater. If two objects have the same density, then
the heavier object will have a proportionately larger volume.

2. True or False. The higher the density, the lower its specific gravity.
 False. Specific gravity tells us the relationship between the density
of an object and the contact substance, which is most often water.
The specific gravity of an object is the density of that object divided
by the density of water. Specific gravity is in direct relationship with
density. Therefore, the density of an object is higher, its specific
gravity is higher as well. If the specific gravity is greater than one,
then the object will sink in water. If the specific gravity is less than
one, then the object will float on water because it has a lower
density than water.

3. Can you increase/decrease the volume of an object? How?

 Yes. The second law of thermodynamics is the law that states that
energy is never created or destroyed. It simply changes from one
form to another. When an object is heated, its atoms or molecules
acquire an extra amount of kinetic energy. With this added energy,
the particles can move faster and further from each other, increasing
the volume of the object. In general, temperature affects volume by
increasing it for low temperatures and decreasing it for high
temperatures.

4. For liquids: Calculate the density of each. Find/Look for their actual
densities from the literature. Calculate the % error in your experimentally
determined density. Present data in a tabular form. Show sample/s of
calculations.

Liquid

 Chem 11 – Chemistry for Engineers

5. Compare the values calculated to those found in the literature.

 The densities that we have calculated through the conduct of the
experiment is quite close to the actual densities of the liquids. But if
we look into the percent error, we can say that the soft drinks is the
nearest to the actual value of soft drink density. The percent error for
the fish sauce and dishwashing liquid is still considerably near
accurate. The densities that we calculated for soft drinks and fish
sauce are smaller than the actual values while the density that we
calculated for the dishwashing liquid is larger than the actual value.

6. What do you think was the most probable source of measurement error
that would lead to incorrect density information?
 We think that the difference in concentration of our acquired soft
drinks, fish sauce, and dishwashing liquid from the standard ones is
the most probable source of measurement error that led us to
incorrectly calculate the density. There are different kinds of soft
drinks, fish sauce, and dishwashing liquid that can be bought in the
market and they also have different concentrations depending on
their manufacturers.

7. Is it necessary to perform a measurement in triplicate? Why or why not?

 Yes. Performing measurement in triplicates lessens the margin of
error most especially when calculations are involved. There are data
that changes even for the smallest duration of time and getting a
measurement every time period and getting their average will help in
making the data more reliable and accurate.

8. For those who perform in triplicate: Describe your data sets as accurate
and/or precise.
 (We did not perform triplicates since our weighing scale is digital,
giving us exactly the same value every time we put it on the scale.
The volume of the liquids and the water displacement is also fixed. If
ever we remove and put again the liquids in the measuring cup, there
is a tendency that some liquids will be left in the container, giving us
a decreasing volume.)

VIII. SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION

Chemistry is known as the study of matter. Thus, our ability to gain precise information
about matter is critical to our knowledge of chemical processes. This information is
frequently quantitative in the form of measurements. With the help of the simple
experiment that we have conducted, we have gained a better understanding of scientific
concepts and their applications in our daily lives.

We have come to the realization that normal solids, liquids, and even irregular solids
may be quantified in terms of mass, volume, and density. The mass of any material is
determined by comparing it to the mass of a known object or objects (i.e., it is weighed).
The volume, however, might change depending on the thing being measured. A
graduated cylinder, a pipet, or other volumetric instrument is used to determine the
volume of a liquid. While the volume of a conventional solid (such as a cube or sphere)
may be calculated using its dimensions and then evaluated with the proper mathematical
formula, On the other hand, the difficulties in calculating the volume of an irregular solid
in this method are apparent. The most popular way is to measure the change in volume
of water when the object is submerged in it. The object displaces a volume of water which
is also equal to its own volume. Finally, the density can be determined based solely on
the mass and volume measurements of the given objects. The density of anything, in
scientific terms, is simply the mass divided by the volume.

Additionally, we have encountered the concept of specific gravity. It is the ratio of the
density of a substance to the density of a specific reference material, which is usually a
liquid. In the experiment, it was able to tell us whether an object would sink or float in our
reference material (water) depending on its value—if an object's specific gravity is greater
than one, the object will sink. Consequently, the item will float if the specific gravity is less
than one.

Moreover, the experiment established the concept regarding making proper

measurements. It is critical to be both exact and precise while conducting scientific
measurements. Inaccurate results might stem from faulty equipment, inefficient data
processing, or human mistakes. Imprecise measurements cannot appropriately identify
random mistakes and can provide a broad outcome.

To conclude, measurements are really crucial in our lives because they are used to
determine the exact length, area, volume, or mass of numerous things for a variety of
purposes. Furthermore, experiment accuracy is a significant aspect of science since it is
entirely focused on observation, experimenting, and forming conclusions based on
correct results. We should understand the distinction between a quantity's real value and
its measured value.

2. Let x = the mass of ethanol in the full, open container

15.8 g = mass of the object
x + 10.5 = mass of the full container after some of the ethanol spilled

The difference between (x + 10.5) and 15.8 is the mass of the ethanol.

(𝑥 + 10.5) − 15.8 𝑔 = 0
𝒙 = 𝟓. 𝟑 𝒈
Find the volume of the ethanol using the mass obtained and the density of ethanol.

Mass (air) = 7.35 g ρair = 1.205 g/L Density of Mineral
(ρmineral)
Mass (water) = 5.40 g ρwater = 0.9982 g/cm3

Solution:
Archimedes’ principle states that the buoyant force on the object is equal to the
weight/mass of the fluid displaced. This means that the object appears to weigh less
when submerged; we call this measurement the object’s apparent weight. The object
suffers an apparent weight loss which is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced.

Buoyant force = Mass of Fluid displaced = apparent mass loss

Msolution = 49.6 g ρwater = 0.998 g/cm³

Solution:
let volume of ethanol = x,
volume of water = 54.2 cm³ – x

given the formula for density (ρ=M/V)

Mass of ethanol = (0.789 g/cm³)(x)
Mass of water = (0.998 g/cm³)(54.2 cm³ – x)

M𝑠𝑜𝑙𝑢𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 = M𝑠𝑜𝑙𝑢𝑡𝑒 + M𝑠𝑜𝑙𝑣𝑒𝑛𝑡
