    In the volume lab, we found that the large graduated cylinder was the most accurate because it had less percent error when measuring the density of water over all of the other measuring tools.In this lab, we measured water from pipettes including volumetric and graduated pipettes, graduated cylinders, erlenmeyer flasks, and beakers to figure out the mass and density. These measurements were then used to calculate the percent error. We completed these measurements by measuring the volume of the pipettes in milliliters, the initial mass of the beaker without water in grams, and the final mass of the beaker with water in grams. We did this procedure again, and also tested the temperature of the water with the graduated cylinders, erlenmeyer flasks, and the beakers of the second trial. The first trial, with the 10 milliliters volumetric pipette, showed the volume to be 14 milliliters, 50.78 grams for the initial mass, and 60.68 grams for the final mass. The second trial, with the 5 milliliters volumetric pipette, had a volume of 10 milliliters, 50.78 grams for the initial mass of the beaker, and 55.75 grams for the final mass. Finally, the third trial, with a 25 milliliters pipette, showed the volume to be 29 milliliters, 50.78 grams for the initial mass, and 73.53 grams for the final mass.For part two, we did the same exact procedure but with new equipment and with a new calculation; we had to measure the temperature of all the values. In part two, the small graduated cylinder…
