Precision describes the closeness of results that have been obtained in exactly the same way while accuracy indicates the closeness of the measurement to its true value. This experiment was used to determine the accuracy and precision of different volumetric measuring devices‚ as well as determining the density of an unknown metal. This lab was to help understand the application to volumetric measurements. Part 1: First‚ the next-to-smallest beaker was cleaned‚ dried‚ and weighed on the scale

Pipetting‚ weighing‚ accuracy and plotting Introduction The aim of this experiment was to determine the density of water and‚ of unknown solutions‚ by being as accurate as possible‚ by pipetting and weighing the solutions. Density if defined as “The mass per unit volume of substance; common unitg cm-3” (Lewis. R and Evans. W.‚ 2011).
