Measurement Practice
8/27/13
Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to become familiar with the measuring equipment in the lab, figuring out what piece of equipment is best for measuring and to become familiar with finding density, mass, volume and area. Conclusion: My conclusion of the data is that beakers give you a very poor measurement and should mainly be used for pouring. Burets, pipets, and graduated cylinders should be used for more tedious measurements. Future Actions: The teacher should help the students more. This is most likely the first lab of some students’ college career and would benefit from that. Equipment: This lab requires: a 50mL, 150mL, 250mL beakers, 50mL, 125mL Erlenmeyer flasks, 10mL, 25mL, 50mL, 100mL graduated cylinders, glasses, an apron, 10mL volumetric pipet, 10mL pipet pump, 50mL buret, top loading electric balances, ring stand, buret clamp, and an alcohol thermometer.
Procedure:
Part IA:
Secure a 50mL buret using a ring stand and a buret clamp. Add distilled water until the buret reads “0.00mL”. Drain half of the water into a pre-weighed 50mL beaker. Record the amount of water drained from the buret. Find the mass of the water in the beaker. Record the temperature. Calculate the volume of water. Repeat the procedure, average results, and determine the significant figures.
Part IB:
Using the 10.00mL volumetric pipet, take 10.00mL of water from the 150mL beaker and drain the 10.00mL of water into a pre-weighed 50mL beaker. Calculate the volume of the water in the pipet. Repeat, average results and determine the number of significant figures.
Part IC:
Using your 10.00mL pipet, add 10.00mL of distilled water to a 50mL beaker. Record the volume of water in the beaker. Repeat, average results, and determine the number of significant figures. Repeat with a 150mL beaker and a 125mL Erlenmeyer flask.
Part ID:
With a 10.00mL volumetric pipet, take exactly 10.00mL of distilled water from a 50mL beaker and drain the water into a 25mL graduated cylinder.
Chromatofly Purpose: With the ability to predict the intermolecular forces in different molecules, you should be able to use the IMF and understand how it relates to chromatography. The purpose of this lab is to be able to understand the procedure of chromatography, by reconstructing a specific chromatograph. Procedure: Make a hole in the center of the filter paper with the tip of the pencil Make dots, each with a different marker, around the center of the filter paper…
Determination of Copper in Brass Rebekah Blackburn Introduction An alloy is a mixture or solid solution composed of metals. One common alloy is brass, a mixture of copper and zinc. Copper comprises between 60-90% of the mixture. Brass with a high amount of copper is corrosion resistant, which means it is often used in plumbing and ship fittings. Brass that contains less amounts of copper and higher amounts of zinc are stronger, and more economical. The purpose of this experiment was to determine…
Lab 5 Julia (hour 2) TITLE: INVESTIGATION – Hand Warmer Design Challenge: Where does the heat come from? PURPOSE: to determine which of the 3 ionic compounds (NaCl, LiCl, or NaCH3COO) is most suitable for use as a hand warmer PROCEDURE: DAY 1 (Part 2 only): 1) Measure out 2 separate samples of 100.0 mL of distilled water 2) Heat one to about 50˚C, and place other one in calorimeter (at around 20˚C) 3) Add heater water to calorimeter,…

“Chemical Reactions and Equations” lab was to observe physical and chemical properties associated with chemical reactions, to make note of/document the evidence of the chemical reaction, to practice balancing equations, to predict the products that form from a reaction, and to have an understanding; did the elements bond, break apart, or did they switch partners in the reaction (determine what happened to the reactant/s as they formed new product/s). The lab demonstrated the law of conservation…
