Lesson 2 & 3 (M1) - Measurement Flashcards
Convert Celsius to Fahrenheit
F = 1.8 (c) + 32
Convert Fahrenheit to Celsius
C = F - 32/1.8
Calculate Density
Density = mass/volume
Calculate Volume
Volume = mass/density
The unit of density for solids
g/cm^3
The unit of density for liquids
g/ml
Scientific notation
A number between 1-10 is to the power of 10
Dimensional analysis
Converting one unit to another
(A ratio of equivalent values having different units)
Accuracy
How close a measured value is to an accepted value.
Precision
How close a series of measurements are to one another.
What is an error?
The difference between an experimental value and an accepted value.
Calculate error
Error = experimental value - accepted value
What is percent error?
Expresses error as a percentage of the accepted value.
Calculate percent error
Percent error = error/accepted value X 100
Calculate Percent by mass
Mass of element/Mass of compound X 100
