    This document contains a chemistry student's responses to various questions relating to units of measurement in chemistry, the importance of accuracy and precision in measurement, and the concept of standard deviation. It also includes problems solving for significant figures, scientific notation, unit conversions, densities, radii, and densities when given various chemistry related values and measurements. The student describes metrology as quality assurance methods for calibrating machinery and measuring parts, noting that every measurement contains uncertainty. Common instruments that require calibration include thermistors, infrared meters, furnaces, thermometers, and thermocouples.

    CHEMISTRY ACTIVITY 1

    1. What are the seven (7) SI base units used in chemistry and its relevance in laboratory.?

    1. Second - time
    2. Ampere – electric current
    3. Candela – luminous intensity
    4. Mole - amount
    5. Kelvin - temperature
    6. Kilogram - mass
    7. Meter - length

    2. Differentiate measurement precision and accuracy in relation to calibration of


    instruments/equipment in chemistry. 
    → Accuracy: indicates how a given measurement is close to the real value. Precision: refers to the
    closeness between independent measurements.

    3. State the importance of making measurements using Standard Deviation.

    →On making measurements using an standard deviation is very important because it will be measures
    the absolute variability of a distribution.

    4. Describe separately what is scientific notation, significant figures and rounding off numbers by solving
    the following:
    6SF a. How many significant figures are there in 0.000354600
    0.0585 b. Round off the 0.058467 into 3 significant figures.
    38.28yd/ 0.03500amp c. Convert 35 m into yards & round off your answer in 4 significant
    figures.
    186,000 mi/s d. Convert speed of light 299792458 m/sec into miles per
    second. Round off to 3 significant digit.
    -283.27 ºF e. Convert 98 K into Farenheit (ºF)
    8.01 oz f. Convert 237 mL into ounces. Round off to 3 significant digit.
    22.88 in3 g. Convert 375 ml into Cubic inches(in^3 ). Round off to 4
    significant digit.
    104 ºF h. Convert 40ºC into Farenheit (ºF)
    23.86in² i. If a gold has a circular diameter of 14 cm. What is the surface
    AREA in inches?
    15.53 cm j. If the same sheet of gold in question (i) forms cylinder & has a mass of 0.30 kg. What is
    the thickness in centimeter? Density is 19.32gms/cm .
    0.00277777777 k. Solve for the answer: (50,000 x0.0025 x 20) / (3,000,000x0.015x20)
    28,316.85 grams l. The element mercury has a density of 13.6 gms/cm^3 . How much
    does a cubic foot of it weigh in grams(mass) ?
    r=1.5564 inches m. Solve for radius in R(inches) of a golden sphere with a mass of 5
    kg. Given: Gold density = 19.32 gms/cm^3
    d=0.51 g/cm^3 n. A wooden block is having a weight of 1.1 pounds and Length=5”,
    Width=4” & Thickness= 3”. Solve for the Density in grams/cm3
    5. Describe metrology and different instruments in laboratory that requires calibration.

    Metrology refers to quality assurance methods used to calibrate the machinery used during production
    and to measure the resulting parts. Metrology operates on the principle that every measurement
    contains a degree of uncertainty.
