Volumetric Glassware Lab

Improved Essays
Purpose: The purpose of 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 volume could then be determined, regarding the amount. The data that was recorded in my lab notebook, from these five trials could determine the pipets calibration. I believe that the meaning behind this experiment was to carefully …show more content…
The density for water was 0.989g/mL and the density for the Unknown Liquid was 0.998 g/mL,.
Table 4: Volumetric Data Table for the Volumetric Pipette. Trial Mass of stopper and flask (g)
(Initial mass) Mass of flask/stopper and water (g)
(Final mass) Mass of water delivered (g) Temp (°C) Density of water at Temp(g/mL) Actual volume of water delivered (mL)
1 42.6430 52.2288 9.6460 19.5 0.9699 9.9452
2 52.2288 62.1130 9.8842 19.5 0.96991 10.1908
3 62.1130 77.1108 9.9978 19.5 0.96991 10.2896
4 77.1108 93..5583 9.4722 19.2 0.9839 9.8272
5 93.5583 99.8130 9.2547 19.1 0.9706 9.8352
Table 4 illustrates the volume of water in g/mL, g, and temperature (°C) that was documented in the table above. The object that was used to determine the measurements was a 10.00L pipette.
Sample Calculations: The final Mass is subtracted from the initial Mass and that is how one comes up with the differences of the Mass.
Final Mass-Initial Mass=The Mass

    The densities of 3 different solutions, water, saltwater, and an unknown solution, were calculated using a triple beam balance and a graduated cylinder. Density was also used to discover how much zinc and copper are found in a penny. The following results were found: water’s density, 1.02 g mL-1; saltwater’s density, 1.05 g mL-1; and the unknown substance labeled two’s density, 1.04 g mL-1. The percent error was calculated for water’s density as 2%. The composition of a penny was calculated using volume by water displacement and the mass of the pennies.…

    Half of the measuring cylinders were filled with 60oc water, and the other half with 25oc water. Tests of the water were carried out with an iodine test and diet stix to detect any starch that had been broken down and passed through the tubing. The results from the tests show that there were experimental errors, and the experiment should be carried out again to…

    The team leader for this experiment was Kyle McClain. Zach Verlander was supposed to be the recorder for this lab, but since he dropped the class I took his place as the recorder for the experiment. Greg was in charge of the backside of the heat exchanger apparatus, while Kyle controlled the front side of the apparatus. Greg monitored the pressure gauge of the steam inlet and measured the steam inlet temperature off of the temperature gauge. Kyle used the thermocouple meter to read the pressure of the steam outlet, water inlet, and water outlet streams in the heat exchanger.…

    Be sure to explain what the term ‘accurate’ means. How did you determine this during lab? State some reasons why this device might be most accurate compared to the others. The graduate cylinder seemed to be the most accurate for measuring a 6-mL volume, as one is able to approximately reach the true value better than using an Erlenmeyer flask or beaker. When looking…

    CONCLUSION: Two weeks ago, Soundings XVI performed Lab Experiment Number Two. Lab Experiment Number Two was similar to the previous, Lab Experiment Number One. The prompt was to compare the results of pennies dropped in water, versus the result of pennies being dropped into milk, both at 100 mL. The main purpose of this lab was to further discuss more scientific parts of this lab, such as the surface tension when the cylinder was close to overflowing for both the milk and water. Before performing this lab, my group and I created a hypothesis to reflect upon and to state what we believed would dictate the results.…

    Introduction: There is a direct relationship between temperature and pressure in gases. The relationship can be proven by measuring pressure, which is measured with a pressure sensor, and temperature, which is measured with a temperature probe. Two areas remain constant throughout this experiment, which are volume of the gas and the number of molecules the gas itself contains. In this experiment, using the constructed apparatus, an Erlenmeyer flask with an air sample will be placed in four different water baths, which vary in temperature. Following this, a mathematical relationship between pressure and absolute temperature of a gas can be determined.…

    This value was 0.67 error bars away from the estimated value of (19.5 ± 0.5) cm. Another result that can be obtained from the graph is the gradient. The expected gradient was -1 as can be seen in the above picture the gradient from the results was (-1.01 ± 0.02). This shows that the experiment is valid and performed accurately.…

    Molar Volume of a Gas Lab The purpose of the lab was to do an experiment to determine the molar volume of hydrogen gas at standard temperature and pressure, or STP. To start the experiment, a beaker was filled with water and then a cage was created with a copper wire. A piece of magnesium was cut and placed inside the cage in order to keep the reaction going until all of the magnesium reacted with the hydrochloric acid. The eudiometer tube was filled with 15 mL of hydrochloric acid and water and then plugged with a one-hole rubber stopper that held the cage in place, ensuring that the magnesium would react with the excess hydrochloric acid.…

    For another comparison, another bottle of a different shape was used to compare the theoretical and experimental results. These results are shown in Figure 2 and both results have a similar trend. The theoretical and experimental results had a much larger difference for the jug than the wine bottle, but the results stayed consistently off. Having such a large difference between the two results, showed that the results do agree since trends are similar. This led us to believe that some of the measurements could have been slightly off due to difficulty in measuring the dimensions of the jug.…

    If too much of the sample liquid entered the capillary tube, some was removed by lightly tapping the tube on a paper towel. In each of the capillary tubes the sample liquid was moved to the middle of the tube by lightly tapping it; once the liquid was in the middle both ends of the tube were sealed by plugging both ends with some Vaseline. The capillary tubes were then arranged in sequence along the tube holder with a space between the 3 groups. The alcohol bath was then prepared by placing dry ice into it in order to lower the temperature to around -15°C. Gloves or paper towels were used to handle the dry ice.…
