Volume Units Lab

Claim: The point of this lab was to figure out what the relationship between cm^3 and mL was. We figured out that 1mL=1cm^3. 

Evidence: The reason that our slope was not exactly 1 is because of error. Error occurred when there was an air bubble in the shape or we did not get all the water out of it. Also measuring errors could have taken place. Our equation was V=0.98(mL/cm^3)v+0mL. The reason b is 0 is because of the 5% rule. That rule showed that b was not significant so it turned out to be 0. Our slope=0.98. This number means that cm^3 and mL were very close to being the same thing. 



Reasoning: In conclusion 1mL=1cm^3. The reason the graph does not show that is because of error. Measuring these two units proves to us how matter behaves itself. Whether matter is in a liquid state or a solid state, the volume of it will be the same. Quite amazing if you ask me. I think that answers how matter behaves.
