Study Notes
Common Physical Quantities
- Common physical quantities measured in a chemistry lab include time, temperature, length, mass, and volume.
Suitable Apparatus
- Time: Digital stopwatches (accurate to 0.01s) or analogue stopwatches (accurate to 0.15s) are suitable.
- Temperature: Alcohol thermometers, suitable for the range from -10°C to 110°C, and digital laboratory thermometers are better suited for measuring temperature. Oral digital thermometers can measure body temperatures.
- Length: A metre rule which provides accuracy up to 0.1cm, and measuring tapes with accuracy from 0.1cm to 0.5cm for different lengths are suitable.
Apparatus Choice
- The appropriate apparatus depends on both the length and the required accuracy.
