    • 3 Pages

    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…

    • 3 Pages

    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…

    to determine the density of an unknown liquid. Additionally, the opposite process was used to determine the calibration of a piece of glassware using a known density. In the first activity, “Density of Liquids”, the identity of a liquid was determined by calculating its density (g/mL). First the mass (g) of a specific volume (mL) of water and the unknown liquid was found. Their densities (g/mL) were then calculated by dividing the mass (g) by the density), the calculated density was then…

    years due to recent advances in tools for computation and simulation [1]. At the heart of any Bayesian data analysis method are the likelihood function, which expresses information about the parameters in the data and the prior distribution, which quantifies the belief about the parameters before measurements. The prior distribution and likelihood function can be multiplied together to form a proportion to the posterior distribution which represents knowledge about the unknown parameters after…

    Sane Fe Grill Case Study

    • 559 Words
    • 3 Pages

    The two main probability designs are, probability and nonprobability sampling. Probability sampling know what the exact probability of each selection would be whereas with nonprobability sampling it is unclear. Nonprobability, selecting each sample unit is not known, leaving the selection up to the researcher. In the case of Santé Fe Grill they should rely on probability sampling because each unit is identified. Under probability sampling, there is stratified random sampling. Stratified random…
