Study Notes
Laboratory Instruments and Their Functions
- Calorimeter: Used to measure heat changes during chemical reactions, including heat generated, transformed, or absorbed.
- Conductivity Meter: A probe designed to assess an object's electrical conductance.
- Triple Beam Balance: A balance equipped with three scales for precise measurement of mass.
- Thermometer: An instrument for measuring the temperature of substances.
- Pipette: A tool for transferring small, exact volumes of liquid between containers.
- Electric Mass Balance: Designed to measure small masses accurately.
Glassware Used in Measurements
- Volumetric Flask: Essential for accurately measuring solution volumes when dissolving solids.
- Beaker: Common glassware for mixing, heating, or cooling solutions, but not for precise volume measurement.
- Graduated Cylinder: A tall, narrow measuring tool with marked graduations used for accurate liquid volume measurements.
- Erlenmeyer Flask: Similar to a beaker but features a narrow neck to minimize splashing.
Measurement Techniques and Practices
- Taring Importance: Necessary to ensure only the substance’s mass is measured, excluding the container's weight.
- Gas Volume Measurement: The volume of gas can be determined by knowing the volume of its container.
- Accurate Liquid Measurement Tools: Graduated cylinders and volumetric flasks are the most accurate for measuring liquid volumes.
Practice Readings
- Graduated Cylinder Reading: Example measurement can be 6.6 mL, with emphasis on identifying the meniscus.
-
Triple Beam Balance Readings: Various example mass readings include:
- 290.4 g
- 57.3 g
- 107.7 g
