Question

Lab 2: Conversion Factors and Problem Solving Report SheetRoundingA student rounded each initial number to three significant figures. Decide whether the student's rounding is correct. If it is not, write the correct rounded value.Initial number | Student's rounded value243.6193 | 244654900 | 6550.00731582 | 0.0073 | 3.00Significant Figures in Calculations1. Multiplication and DivisionSolve each problem and report the answer with the correct number of significant figures.a. 0.1184 × 8.00 × 0.0345b. (42.4 × 15.6) / 1.265c. (35.56 × 1.45) / (4.8 × 0.56)2. Addition and SubtractionSolve each problem and report the answer with the correct number of significant figures.a. 13.45 mL + 0.4552 mLb. 145.5 m + 86.58 m + 1045 mc. 245.625 g − 80.2 gd. 4.62 cm − 0.885 cm3. AreaMeasure the length and width of the rectangle shown on the report sheet in centimeters. Calculate its area in square centimeters. Another student should also measure and calculate the area.Why might two students have different calculated areas when measuring the same rectangle?4. Volume of a SolidRecord the shape of the object given by your instructor. Record the dimensions to measure (h, L, W, or D), the formula used to calculate volume, and the volume in cubic centimeters. Show your calculations and units.Conversion Factors1. Conversion of Volume Within the Metric SystemComplete: 1 L = ______ mL. Write two conversion factors.2. Conversion of Volume Between Metric and U.S. Customary UnitsDetermine experimentally the number of milliliters in one quart. Complete the true equality 1 qt = ______ mL. Write two conversion factors. Compare your experimental conversion factor with 946 mL/1 qt.3. Conversion of Length Between Metric and U.S. Customary UnitsMeasure the vertical length of the page in inches and centimeters. Calculate the experimental conversion factor ______ cm/in = ______ cm/1 in. Complete the true equality 1 in = ______ cm. Write two conversion factors. Compare your experimental conversion factor with 2.54 cm/1 in.4. Conversion of Mass Between Metric and U.S. Customary UnitsChoose a commercial product. Record its mass in grams and its weight in pounds and ounces. Convert the label weight to pounds. Calculate the experimental conversion factor in grams per pound. Complete the true equality 1 lb = ______ g. Write two conversion factors. Compare your experimental conversion factor with 454 g/1 lb.Metric HeightRecord the student's height in inches. Convert the height to centimeters, showing the calculation and units. Convert the height to meters, showing the calculation and units.

Evidence boundary

The rounding, calculation, and reference-conversion answers use values provided by the report sheet. Area, volume, experimental conversion factors, product mass, and height must be completed with the student's own measurements and are not inferred here.
