Stoich And Measurement Flashcards
has only one marking; used in measuring volume precisely.
Volumetric flask
Determination of the dimensions, capacity, quantity, or extent of
something
Measurement
It is the process of obtaining the magnitude of a quantity relative to an
agreed standard.
Measurement
It is composed of a number and a unit and is meaningless without the unit.
Measurement
→ a property that is measured
→ Can be derived or fundamental
− Ex. mass, volume, length, time, temperature, pressure
