NAME: Danny Abdullah PARTNER’S NAMES:_______________________ LAB SECTION:__________________ _______________________ Measurements, Significant Figures, and using Density to identify unknowns. Using the information you recorded in your lab notebook answer the following questions. Submit this as a typed report. You can’t handwrite it. Part A: The Precision of Volumetric Glassware Temperature of you measure water 78 degrees Using the website listed in the procedure what is the excepted density of your water? ___0.9998_____ 1. What are the three densities of water from the 50-mL beaker 1.__0.966___ 2.___0.937___ 3. __0.841_____ 2. What is the average density of water from the 50-mL beaker? _____0.915________ 3. What are the three densities of water from the 100-mL graduated cylinder: 1.__0.829___ 2.__0.839____ 3. ___0.897____ 4. What is the average density of water from the 100-mL graduated cylinder? _____0.869________ 5. What are the three densities of water from the 10-mL volumetric pipet 1.__1.0___ 2.___0.903___ 3. ___0.971____ 6. What is the average density of water from the 10-mL volumetric pipet? _____0.985________ 7. What are the three densities of water from the 50-mL Buret 1.__1.0___ 2.___1.019___ 3. __1.006_____ 8. What is the average density of water from the 50-mL Buret ? ____1.008_________ 9. Of the four average densities that you calculate what one is the closest to the excepted density of your water? __0.9998________________
10. Using the average densities calculated in Part A of the lab as justification, list the volumetric glassware used in increasing order of precision. Fully explain your answer, and use percent error to justify your order. In increasing order of precision, it would be the beaker, then the pipet, then the graduated cylinder, then the buret. The buret has an extremely small percent error of 0.008% while the beaker has a larger percent error of 9.267%. The buret's trials were the most precise while the beaker's trials were not very precise at all. Part B: The Density of Aluminum and the Thickness of Foil 11. What is the Exact mass of the aluminum pellets in all 5 trials? should be in grams and have at least 3 significant figures. ____20g___ ___25g____ ___23g____ ____20g___ ____24g___ 12. Volume of the aluminum pellets in all 5 trials?_ __9mL_____ ____7mL___ ____10mL___ ____8mL___ ___6mL____ 13. Construct and include (copy and paste) your x-y scatter graph of mass vs. volume with trend line and equation and R 2 value shown.
14. Calculated the density of the aluminum pellets?____________ 15. True density of aluminum? ______2.7________ 16. Percent error (show calculation)? ______21.62%_________ 17. How many significant figures are in your density and why? It would technically be 1 significant figure because the smallest value used to calculate density has 1 significant figure. 18. Mass of the aluminum foil? _______0.96%______ 19. Volume of the aluminum foil volume?______2.217_______ 20. Calculated thickness of the aluminum foil?_____0.009_______ 21. Percent error (show calculation)? ________21.62%_______ (2.7-2.22)/2.22 x 100 = 21.62
