Measurement Review Sheet Answers
1. On the lines below explain what the science student did incorrectly.
What should she have done? She added. She should have subtracted.
2. Now compute the right answer. Remember to use the correct unit of
measure. The mass of 150.0 mL is.
149.0g
3. The mass of an empty beaker is 100.0 g. The mass of this same beaker
filled with water is 120.0 g. Therefore, the mass
of the water must be
20.0g
4. The mass of an empty beaker is 200.0 g. The mass of this same beaker
filled with water is 340.0 g. Therefore, the mass
of the water must be
140.0 g
5. The volume of of block whose sides measure;
height 6.7 cm, length 3.0 cm and width 5.2 cm is
Page 1
104.5 cm3
6. What the science student did incorrectly was
He didn’t set the riders to the sum of the masses
7. The science student should have
Set the riders to 13.0g (10.0g = 3.0g)
1. Set riders to 37.0 g (27.0g + 10.0 g)
2. Pour the salt into the container until the pointer returns to 0.
9. A scientist needs 50.0 grams of sand. The container she is using
has a mass of 3.0 grams. What should the scientist set the riders to on
the triple beam balance? 53.0g because, 50.0g + 3.0g
10. A scientist needs 40.0 grams of sand. The container he is using
has a mass of 27.0 grams. What should the scientist set the riders to on
the triple beam balance?
67.0g because, 40.0g + 27.0g
11. A scientist needs 0.5 grams of salt. The container she is using
has a mass of 7.0 grams. What should the scientist set the riders to on
the triple beam balance?
7.5g because, 0.5g + 7.0g
