a railroad town. Zip code 95661 had a recorded population of 30,730 as of 2011 and covered an area of approximately 9.0 square miles. It has a population density of around 3,414 people per square mile (City-data.com, 2011). Grass Valley, zip code 95945, by comparison, is a historic gold mining town located one hour north of Sacramento. Its recorded population as of 2012 was 12,808 with a total of 64.23 square miles. It has a population density of 3,120 people per square mile (City-date.com,…
AIM OF THE PRACTICAL The aim of this practical was to investigate the reality or the accuracy of the formula for the resultant force on and the position of the centre of pressure on a vertical rectangular surface. SKETCH OF APPARATUS Counterbalance weight Balance pan(with 20g mass piece) Flat/curved surface(as shown below) Water Beaker Mass pieces(20g each) SUMMARY OF THEORY Hydrostatic force is the force exerted by the…
to push it up causing it to float; the less density of the boat the nearer to the surface the vessel floats. The boat…
three questions in regards to density. The first question inquired which method of density calculation would be the most accurate. The second question asked if the sugar in the soda had an effect on its density. The third question stated what affect the varying size and shape of the copper pieces had on their density. These questions were explored in the experiment and some interesting conclusions were made at the end. In the first half of the experiment, the density of copper is calculated…
Objective- Our goal for this lab was to calculate the Density of a substance. We needed to make sure we had the materials to find mass and volume and then use a formula to calculate density. Introduction- The main principle of this experiment was to figure out the Density of certain objectives given to us in the lab. We had to know the the formula D-M/V in order to find the density of that object.We also needed to know the density of water(1.0 g/l) in order to predict if something would float…
Simple distillation was used for a liquid whose boiling points is 25 degrees Celsius over the other liquid, whereas fractional distillation is used for liquids with boiling points that are closer than 25 degrees Celsius apart. To obtain the highest percent ethanol, fraction distillation is proven to be the most effective. Because the 2 liquids have a boiling point difference of about 25 degrees Celsius, we used both simple and fractional distillation to remove the ethanol from the water.…
Experiment 1 Density By Jessica Schmidt Chem 112L-S23- Athukoralage Gunawardana September 20, 2016 Erin Whitehouse The first part of the experiment consisted of finding the accuracy and precision of three different measuring devices, a 50mL beaker, a 25mL graduated cylinder and a 25mL pipette. The mean volumes and uncertainties were found to be 22.5mL 1.9, 23.72 .25, and 24.89 .43, respectfully. The 25mL pipette was found to be the most accurate out of the three. The density of water was…
this experiment was to illustrate how to determine the density of a liquid and regulate volumetric glassware properly. To determine the mass of liquids using a scale, the density of water and (unknown) liquid D were weighed, inside of a volumetric flask. Once the mass was determined in grams, the density was easy to determine, by using the density equation. The second portion of this experiment was to calibrate a 10mL pipette. Once the density was determined for this section, the pipette…
A water table marks the top of the saturated zone of groundwater. When something is saturated, it means one substance (Like soil) is filled with another substance (Like water). Therefore, the area filled with water is called the saturated zone. This zone can be called the phreatic zone or the zone of saturation. This is always the zone below the water table. Directly above a water table there is always a capillary fringe. The water table separates the capillary fringe from the zone of saturation…
Lab two explored varies ways to find the density of objects. This lab used displacement , measurement, and the density formula to make observation and collect data about the balloon filled with sublimed dry ice, various water samples, and a golf ball. The ultimate goals of this experiment were to collect the most precise measurements of displacement of the balloon in the tap water, the weight of the three water samples versus the original cylinder, and diameter of the golf ball in order to use…
