Lab 2 Measurements: Accuracy and Precision A. Data Tables (36 points) Place your completed data tables into your report here: Data Table 1 Measurement | Data | Length of aluminum plastic packet | 4.50cm | Height of aluminum plastic packet | 7.50 cm | Temperature of faucet water | 26.0 degrees Celsius | Temperature of ice water | 10.0 degrees Celsius | Volume of water in 10-mL graduated cylinder | 10.0ml | Volume of water in 50-mL graduated cylinder | 9.0ml | Data Table 2 Measurement | Data | Inside diameter of 50-mL graduated cylinder | 2.50 cm | Height of 50-mL graduated cylinder | 10.0 cm | Water temperature | 25.0 degrees Celsius | Initial volume of water in 50-mL graduated cylinder | 10.0 mL | Mass of water in the 50-mL graduated cylinder (remember, 1 g of water weights 1 mL since its density is 1 g/mL) | 10.0gm | Volume of water and aluminum shot in 50-mL graduated cylinder | 18.0ml | Mass of aluminum shot (given on outside of packet) | 20.0gm | B. Follow-Up Questions (Show all calculations) Part I (Each question is worth 10 points.) 1. Convert the length and height measurements for the packet that contains the aluminum shot from units of cm to units of mm using the unit-factor method. Length is 4.5cm conversion factor 1cm = 10mm and 1cm/10mm 4.5cm = 45.0 mm Height = 7.5 cm with the above conversion factor 7.5cm = 75.0mm 2. Convert the temperature measurements for the faucet water and the ice water from oC to oF, using the following equation: oF = 1.8(oC) + 32. Faucet H2O is 25 degrees Celsius F=1.8(25.0)+32 45+32 = 77.0 degrees Fahrenheit (2SF) Ice Water is 10 degrees Celsius F=1.8(10.0)+32 18+32=40.0 degrees Celsius 3. Convert the volumes of the water in
