    Class average for a 80 and 120 drop count was recorded to be 0.041+/- 0.005 mL/drop. If a graduated cylinder is not available there is another way of adding more of the solution. The disposable pipet can transfer 0.5mL of the solution to the chemical reaction. When comparing a 10mL graduated cylinder, a 100mL beaker, and a 50mL graduated cylinder, the most precision peace of glass wear would be the 10 mL graduated cylinder with the true volume of water (calculated), class average, and uncertainties being 9.7896 +/- 0.05mL. The 50mL graduated cylinder comes in second place with a true volume of water(calculated), class average, and uncertainties being 50.0001 +/- 0.22mL. The third peace of glassware coming in as the least accurate would be the 100 mL beaker with a true volume of water(calculated), class average, and uncertainties being 59.9999 +/- 0.82mL.…

    The purpose of this lab is to determine an accurate time when the ice completely melts and the water starts to boil. The problem is which type of temperature change will result from heating ice to liquid, then boil (steam)? What will happen to the water after the boil? I hypothesise the water heats ice to liquid and then goes to simmer and boil. The independent variable is the hot plate changed to a burner itself. The dependent variable is what we are measuring is the time.…

    Specific heat and climate were the primary focus of this lab. Specific heat is defined as “the measure of the ability of a substance to change temperature”. The purpose for carrying out this lab was to determine the specific heat/rates of both soil and water, and then comparing them. Students also were to relate specific heat to climate. Students were to determine which substance expressed a higher specific heat by using the formula, (q=m*Δt*c). Then they were to explain how specific heat and climate are in relation to one another.…

    In this experiment, the specific heat and the density of an unknown metal was determined in order to identify the unknown metal. The average specific heat of the unknown metal was 0.197˚C and was determined using a calorimeter. The density of the unknown metal was 6.57 g/mL and was determined using a cylinder and displacement. Using the specific heat value of the unknown metal and its density, it was determined that the unknown metal was Tin.…

    In part A of the experiment the two values obtained for the specific heat capacity of the metal were about .0500 J/mol. This is a large deviation, with both of these values identifying very different metals. The average heat capacity identified the metal used as brass. The average heat capacity calculated was .3776 J/mol and the actual heat capacity of brass is .375 J/mol. The second run displayed the closest value to the actual value. A source of error that may have caused a large divide in the calculations could have been when the metal was transferred from the boiling water to the calorimeter. In the first run the metal was not fully submerged on the water from the calorimeter and was uncovered for more than two seconds. The second run was smoother in this section and displayed a value much closer to the actual specific heat capacity of the metal. This error can be prevented with a smoother transfer of the metal from the boiling water to the calorimeter with a pair of tongs that have a rubber tip that has a better grip of the metal.…

    We measured the resistance per foot of a wire using setups of both two and four test leads in tandem with a digital voltmeter (DVM) and compared their accuracy. While resistance can be determined by measuring voltage and current separately, it can also be measured more simply and directly using the resistance measuring feature available to some digital voltmeters, such as the Agilent 34401A we employ here. Plugging two test leads into the DVM and placing them in series with the device under test (DUT) can be sufficient, but only if the DUT has a resistance of at least an order of magnitude larger than the internal and contact resistances within the leads. If one forgets about these resistances, they may be led to believe that two leads are always sufficient for accurate resistance measurements. A four-lead setup adds two more test leads that divert current flow from the original two, therefore eliminating the voltage drops caused by the leads’ internal resistances and their contact resistances with the DUT. Here, both setups were tried and their accuracy and practicality compared. A two-foot long 22 American Wire Gauge copper wire’s resistance per foot was measured to be 49.2 m/ft (206% from the accepted value of 16.1/ft) and 16.6 m/f (3.11% from the accepted value) using the two-wire and four-wire techniques, respectively.…
