Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 5.3 Scientific Measurement and Units for Matter skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery
A lab group measures a metal cube. The balance reads 152.4 g. Water in a graduated cylinder changes from 30 mL to 47 mL after the cube is submerged. Which record is best?
Atemperature = 152.4 g; mass = 47 degrees C
Bvolume = 77 mL because the water levels should be added
Cmass = 152.4 g using a balance; volume = 17 mL using displacement in a graduated cylinder
Dmass = 17 mL using a thermometer; volume = 152.4 g using a balance
Solution & Explanation:The balance gives mass. The volume is the water-level change: 47 mL - 30 mL = 17 mL.
Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery
A student wants the mass of a liquid only. The empty cup has a mass of 35 g. The cup plus liquid has a mass of 118 g. What is the mass of the liquid in grams? Enter the number only.
Solution & Explanation:Subtract the empty cup mass from the full mass: 118 g - 35 g = 83 g.
Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery
A liquid expands from 50 mL at 10 degrees C to 52 mL at 40 degrees C. Which tools are needed to gather both kinds of data?
Astopwatch and compass
Bgraduated cylinder and thermometer
Cbalance and magnet
Druler and hand lens
Solution & Explanation:The volume change is measured with a graduated cylinder, and temperature is measured with a thermometer.
