Study Notes

  • Liquid is a chemical substance or component that can flow and take the shape of any container, like H2O.
  • Liquids possess various physical properties.
  • Physical properties of liquids include density, viscosity, specific heat capacity, refractive index, surface tension, and boiling/freezing point.
  • Studying the physical properties of liquid materials is vital for industries to identify and check the quality of raw materials and finished products.

Density of Glycerol

  • Density is the amount of mass in a unit volume of a substance.
  • Density is expressed as D = m/V, where units are g/cm³ or Kg/L.
  • Temperature and pressure affect density:
    • As temperature increases, density decreases.
    • As pressure increases, density increases.

Instruments for Measurement

  • Pyknometer is used for accurate measurement.
  • Measuring flask is also used for volume measurement.

Relative Density (Specific Gravity)

  • Relative density of a liquid is the absolute density of the liquid divided by the density of water at the same temperature and it is a dimensionless quantity.
  • d relative = d liquid/dH2O = (W/V) liquid / (W/V) H2O
  • If the volume of liquid equals the volume of water, then d relative = W liquid/W H2O
  • d liquid = d relative X d H2O

Experimental Work

  • Wash the flask with tap water and distilled water.
  • Dry the flask with ethanol, followed by ether, and then with a jet of dry air.
  • Weigh the empty flask (W1)
  • Fill the flask with water to the mark and weigh it (W2)
  • Remove the distilled water, rinse with a small amount of glycerol, fill to the mark with glycerol, and weigh it (W3).

Calculation

  • Weight of water: W4 = W2 (flask + water) - W1 (flask only)
  • Weight of glycerol: W5 = W3 (flask with glycerol) - W1 (flask only)
  • Specific gravity: d relative = W liquid/W H2O = W5/W4
  • Absolute density of glycerol: d glycerol = d relative X d H2O
  • The absolute density of water d H2O = 0.99626 g/cm³
