Student: Keila Dukuze Date: Feb/10/2013 Lab# 3 Section: 110 Pre-Lab Report Determining the Density of Various Liquids and Solids The purpose of this experiment is to determine the weight (density) of certain liquids and solids in chemistry. These liquids include; Water‚ Hexane‚ Carbon Tetrachloride‚ and solids include; Copper‚ Zinc‚ Lead and‚ Aluminum. It’s important to know the weight of these products so you can properly conduct experiments and make clear observations. Different

Specific Heat Lab Objective: Find the specific heat of the unknown metal given using calorimetry. Background Theory: In every reaction‚ energy is transferred between a system and its environment. A system encompasses the substances that are involved in a reaction‚ and everything else in the universe other than the system is called the environment. The standard SI unit of energy is Joules (J). Temperature is the level of excitement of the atoms in a substance. In most cases‚ energy is

Specific heat is the property of the material that an object is made of. The greater the material’s specific heat and the mass‚ the more energy must be added to change its temperature. The goals of this lab were to calculate the specific heat of water and compare to the known value of 4.19J/°Cg. Another goal was to calculate the efficiency of the hot pot used for the experiment and to estimate the cost to heat water for a cup of tea and to bath in a bathtub. The thermal energy E= cm Δ T‚ required

Measurement of the Densities of Water and Alcohol Phuc Truong and Shane Steele Data Collected: September 8‚ 2014 2:05 P.M. Purpose: The purpose of the experiment is to measure the densities of liquids. Specifically‚ the two liquids that were used and measured in the research were deionized water (H2O) and alcohol (C2H5OH). Methods: Density is an intensive quantity that cannot be visually identified. Therefore‚ the most straightforward approach to this problem was to record the measurements of mass

Name Date Lab: Denisty – Solids and Liquids Part 1: Density Background Information: The density of an object is how much “stuff”‚ or molecules‚ a substance is made of. Density is how tightly packed the molecules are. To calculate the density of a substance we need to know the mass (weight) of the substance and the volume (how much space) of the substance. Mass is determined by weighing an object. Volume of regular shaped objects is calculated by measuring

Discussion Based on the results of the lab it can be seen that the metal in the lab can be identified as lead. The identity of the metal was determined by the heat energy calculations. The heat capacity that was found matched closely to that of the lead. There were several possible sources of error that could be found throughout the lab. Some of the main errors as seen in question 7 that could have affected the results of the lab were the amount of water transferred with the hot metal‚ the

The Density Challenge: A Complete Inquiry Activity Introduction Density has been an important part of science for a very long time. Density was discovered by Archimedes‚ a Greek mathematician‚ around 250 BC while determining whether a craftsman had replaced some of the gold in the King of Syracuse’s crown with silver. Density is the compactness of a substance. The new concept of density he discovered was used to expose the fraud. The purpose of this experiment is to make

Abstract The purpose of this experiment was to identify whether density is an extensive or intensive physical property. By using water displacement‚ the volumes of the paper clip samples were measured and the masses were obtained by using an electronic balance. Each mass and volume was unique to their sample so by using their values‚ density was used to identify substances in the lab. After conducting the experiment‚ the results showed that there was a positive slope between the different paper
