Genesys20 Spectrophotometer

Decent Essays
In this experiment, the student determined two significant sources of experimental errors:

Drop in Volts.
Most of the experiments are conducted on Genesys20 Spectrophotometer, which works from the electrical network; all of its components are calculated for certain number of Volt. If this machine has a lack or excess of power, the experiment results a possible failure from the “true” values.

Unqualified manufacturing of graduation on the glassware surface.
The result of experiment can not be “true” because of the manufacturing of the glassware, especially graduation. In order to succeed in this experiment, the student has to take exactly 200mg/L of Silver Nitrate, but due to unqualified graduation on the beaker, the student took a little

    A possible error that could have been made was not doing at least three experiments. If more experiments were done, the information would have been more accurate. Another possible error was only using two liquids. If more than two liquids were used in this experiment, then the information would have also been more accurate. A major error in this experiment was using a different starting temperature for each trial.…

    The testable question asked what is the actual percent yield of copper produced in grams/milliliters from the reaction of 2 g of solid copper (II) sulfate pentahydrate and approximately .25 g of aluminum foil in 10 mL of water versus the theoretical yield of copper metal. The hypothesis stated that if a reaction occurs between 2 g of solid copper (II) sulfate pentahydrate and 2 mL of 6 molar hydrochloric acid with approximately .25 g of aluminum foil, then the actual percentage yield of copper produced will be at least 25% less than the theoretical yield found by calculation because conducting the experiment shatters the idea of a perfect experiment and is open to errors such as inaccurate measurements, unsanitary conditions, and unreacted…

    In the nine unknown solutions experiment there was nine solutions that were labeled with just numbers from one to nine and all of these one to nine solutions were mixed together randomly to see what kind of reaction it would form. There were mostly no reactions being formed but the reactions that were soluble and insoluble formed different colors of precipitate. The main importance in finding the nine unknown solutions was to prevent any inaccuracies that might form when there is a chemical compound forming. This experiment was done to determine the identity of the nine unknown solutions like color (physical trait), and chemical characteristics.…

    The trials were used to show how soap can change the droplets that could be held on the penny. The results of the trial helped me see what happened when I added soap to the water. It tells me whether my hypothesis was correct when I tested it and whether the results can prove my point. After analyzing the data, my hypothesis was correct. I was able to see a trend that the penny was able to hold 40+ droplets of tap water each time, but there were some exceptions, while the penny was able to hold 10+ drops each time.…

    Because the experiment was very timed, the smallest time error can create a mistake in the overall results. Also, an error could occur if the loops are not changed which could cause contamination in the plate therefore affecting the result. To further explore this topic, one question one can ask him or herself is “How is changing the amount of µl added going to affect the result of the…

    These errors may range from human errors to equipment errors. Internal resistance within the voltmeter may cause a reduction in measured voltage values thereby giving voltage results that are too low or too high. These result influence the overall E cell value rendering results incorrect. Corrosion on the alligator clip that was used could prevent consistent contact of the electrode thereby giving fluctuating results throughout the experiment. Electrode touching the salt bridge in the beaker while a measurement was taken can also influence the measured voltage by the voltmeter.…

    Data Analysis The scientific question for this experiment is:” Does the amount of baking soda added to vinegar affect the amount of CO2 produced?” “If more baking soda is added to 50mL of vinegar, then more CO2 gas will be produced,” was the hypothesis. The independent variable was the different amounts of baking soda. Therefore, the dependent variable was the amount of CO2 produced.…

    PURPOSE/QUESTION The question that we will answer using this laboratory report is, “How is the rate of dissolving sugar affected by changing the temperature of the water, changing the rate of stirring, and changing the size of the crystal?” The independent variable of each laboratory experiment is different, however they are all being changed to get consistent and effective results for one dependent variable. The three independent variables are the temperature of water, rate of stirring and size of the crystal and the dependent variable of the all the experiments is the rate of sugar dissolving. HYPOTHESES Below are the laboratory experiment hypotheses that we have formed as a group to figure out what will happen to the rate of dissolving under…
