Problem Analysis:
The worksheet focuses on understanding the concepts of
mass and
volume, identifying tools used to measure them, and applying this knowledge to solve problems. Let's break it down step by step.
---
Section 1: Define the following terms
####
A. Balance
-
Definition: A balance is a tool used to measure
mass.
-
Correct Answer: "It is a tool used to measure mass."
####
B. Mass
-
Definition: Mass is the amount of matter in an object.
-
Correct Answer: "It is the amount of matter in an object."
####
C. Volume
-
Definition: Volume is the amount of space that matter takes up.
-
Correct Answer: "It is the amount of space that matter takes up."

Section 2: Identify tools for measuring volume and mass
We are given five tools and need to label them with either
V (for volume) or
B (for mass).
#### Tools:
1.
1 tablespoon
- Used for measuring small volumes of liquid or solid substances.
-
Label: V
2.
Balance scale
- Used for measuring mass.
-
Label: B
3.
Graduated cylinder
- Used for measuring the volume of liquids.
-
Label: V
4.
Triple-beam balance
- Used for measuring mass.
-
Label: B
5.
Beaker
- Used for measuring approximate volumes of liquids.
-
Label: V
#### Final Labels:
1. 1 tablespoon:
V
2. Balance scale:
B
3. Graduated cylinder:
V
4. Triple-beam balance:
B
5. Beaker:
V

Section 3: Smallest and largest volume of liquid
This section requires identifying the smallest and largest volumes of liquid based on the provided tools. However, the image does not explicitly show the scales or markings on the tools. Assuming standard laboratory equipment:
-
Smallest volume: The
1 tablespoon is typically used for very small volumes (e.g., 15 mL).
-
Largest volume: The
beaker is generally larger than the graduated cylinder and can hold more liquid (e.g., 500 mL or more).
#### Final Answers:
- Smallest:
1 tablespoon
- Largest:
Beaker
