3
Metric System Part 3 Volume
4
What is Volume ? Volume is a measure of how much space something takes up
5
3 Methods of Measuring Volume
6
Measure the volume of a liquid directly using glassware Method # 1:
7
Meniscus Definition: the curved surface of liquid in a container
9
Practice: 53 mL
10
Practice: 11.5 mL
11
Practice: 6.6 mL
12
Method # 2: Calculate the volume of a regularly shaped solid using geometry
13
Geometric Formulas: Volume of a cube is …. l x w x h i.e. 4cm x 5cm x 2cm = 40 cm 3 i.e. x (5cm) 2 x 10cm = 785 cm 3 Volume of a cylinder is …. r 2 h
14
NOTE : Volume can be measured in: liters (L), milliliters (mL), etc. cubic meters (m 3 ) cubic centimeters (cm 3 ), etc. OR…
15
It uses the decimal system (10’s!) It is an International Standard. The units relate to each other.* *(More on this later!) Benefits of the Metric System: Remember this slide?
16
The units relate…. 1 cm 3 = 1 mL 1 cm 3 = 1 mL 1 mL H 2 O 1 mL H 2 O = 1 cm 3 H 2 O = 1 g H 2 O using water as a standard:
17
Typically, mL or L are used to describe the volume of a liquid... …and cm 3 or m 3 are used to describe the volume of a regularly shaped solid.
18
Method # 3: Calculate the volume of an irregularly shaped solid using water displacement
19
Use water displacement to find the volume of objects with weird shapes:
20
Use Water Displacement to find the volume of an irregularly shaped solid, such as a rock: 22 ml 32 ml
21
A formula for water displacement: V = V f - V i Volume of Object = (Final Volume) - (Initial Volume)
