DUMMY GUIDE TO VOLUME

VOLUME

SOME BASICS:

-PHYSICAL QUANTITY.
Volume is the physical quantity.


-SI Units(Système international d'unités)
cubic metre(m3 )
other common units:cubic centimetre (cm3 )
litre (ℓ)
milimetre(mℓ)

-Prefixes:
Mili(Thousandth) Centi(Hundredth)

-Meniscus Reading
Meniscus of most liquids are curved downwards.
The correct way to read it is:
1.Position your eyes at the same level as the meniscus.
2.The mark at the bottom of the meniscus is taken as your reading.
For the meniscus of the Mercury curves upwards.
the correct way to read it is:
1.Position your eyes at the same level as the meniscus.
2.the mark at the top of the meniscus is taken as your reading.

-Conversion
1km3
=(1000x1000x1000)m3
=1000 000 000m3

1m3(SI Unit)
=(100x100x100)cm3
=1000 000 cm3
=1000

1cm3
=(10x10x10)mm3
=1000 mm3
=1mℓ

****1cm3=1ml****

-Find the volume of :
Cube=L3
Cubiod=LxBxH
Cylinder:pi r2H
Cone=1/3 pi r2H
Sphere=4/3 pi r3

  1. clear videos to teach us how to use a pipette and a burette, and it shows us many different types of apparatus used to measure volume.

  2. I have learnt about the meniscus reading and the conversion formulas were helpful but the text in the 3rd video was abit unclear.

  4. Videos were quite well-done if not a bit blurry. This is a very good way of revising volume because just about all the information needed is here.

  5. I have learnt how to use the various types of apparatus to measure volume and the method used to find the volume of a cube,cuboid,cylinder,cone and a sphere.

  6. I really like the way you have organised all your information, it helps to understand all the points very well.
