Volume ination: In choosing an instrument to make measurements, you want to pick the instrument that you assume will provide the most accurate measurement and will allow you to make the most precise measurements in series of samples. Beakers, graduated cylinders, pipets and burets each have graduations to indicate the volume contained in the glassware. In this experiment, you will be comparing the accuracy of these four types of glassware by measuring the same volume (10 mL) with each instrument. A 10.00 mL sample should have a mass close to 10.00 g, depending on the temperature of the water. The closer the mass of your water sample to the theoretical mass, the greater the accuracy of the measuring instrument. Based on the actual mass of water obtained from each type of glassware, you can determine which of the available measuring instruments would provide the most accurate volume measurement. You will then test your ability and the ability of the instruments to make a set of precise measurements. Assemble the following glassware to make your measurements: One 50 mL beaker making sure it has a 10 mL marking One 10 mL graduated cylinder One 10 mL pipet One 10 mL syringe Observe the markings on each instrument and predict, based on the markings, which instrument you think will provide the most accurate measurement. Provide your prediction on the data sheet page 33 in the space provided. This prediction should be recorded IN INK before beginning the next section so that you can compare your prediction with your actual experimental findings. The comparison of the volumes of water measured for each exercise will be done based on the mass of the sample of water measured. Even though the density of the water changes slightly with temperature, we will assume that the density of water for this exercise is 1.00 g/cn¥. When making volume measurements, a variety of measuring instruments are available. « In performing the first set of measurements, you will determine which of the available measuring instruments is the best choice for making the most accurate measurements (measuring and amount closest to the target quantity of water). « In performing the second set of measurements, you will determine your ability to make precise measurements using the same instrument by making multiple measurements of the same quantity of water. This set of measurements determines both the precision of the instrument (the ability to make reproducible measurements), and of your ability to use that instrument to make repetitive measurements.

In Part A, you compared four instruments to determine which would most accurately measure a 10.00 mL sample of water. To determine which of the instruments provided the most accurate measurement of water, you determined the mass of the water collected. The density of water is 1.00 g/mL so the expected mass of the ten milliliters of water would be 10.0 g. 1. Compare the experimental values on line ¢ in each column.

Describe at least three factors that could have contributed to any error between the measured samples, explaining how each factor might contribute to error (explain how you think the error influenced the results of the measurement). Note: human error is not considered an error as any factor that contributes to an error relates back to a human. é:\qfically describe the error itself.

Do you think the size of the sample would influence the precision of the measurement? In other words, is it easier to precisely measure 1.00 mL or 100.00 mL?

Volume by displacement When it is necessary to determine the volume of an irregularly shaped object or an object that is very small, provided the object does not dissolve in water and will completely immerse in the water, the volume can be determined by displacement. The volume of two separate objects will be determined in this portion of the lab, a rock of irregular shape and a single penny which is small enough in its dimensions that its volume is difficult to measure directly. 1.
