Study Notes
Purpose of the Experiment
- Determine densities of water and aqueous NaCl solutions.
- Plot densities against percent mass of NaCl to predict density of a 15% NaCl solution.
- Measure density of an unknown irregular shaped metal for identification.
Formula for Density
- Density is calculated using the formula: D = m/v (Density = mass/volume).
Density for Irregular Shaped Solids
- Density is found using the formula: D = mass / (final volume - initial volume).
Properties of Matter
- Intensive properties, such as density, do not change regardless of the amount of substance present.
- Extensive properties, such as volume, vary based on the amount of matter.
Density Changes with Temperature and Pressure
- Density is affected by temperature and pressure as they alter volume; increased pressure decreases volume and increases density, while increased temperature increases volume and decreases density.
Precision vs. Accuracy
- Precision refers to the consistency of multiple trials yielding similar results, while accuracy indicates the correctness of the experimental data.
Calculating Standard Deviation
- Steps involve calculating the mean, finding differences from the mean, squaring differences, summing these squares, dividing by n-1, and taking the square root.
Percent Error Formula
- Percent error is calculated using: abs(actual - measured) / actual x 100%.
Graduated Cylinder Measurements
- A 10-mL graduated cylinder can measure liquid volume to the nearest hundredth of a mL.
Density Measurement in Experiments
- Densities determined in the experiment include that of deionized water, an unknown metal, and salt solutions.
Example Density Calculation
- Density of mercury is calculated to be 13.6 g/mL for a mass of 1.67 kg occupying 123 mL.
Errors in Measurements
- Systematic errors arise from consistent inaccuracies, such as temperature affecting balance calibration.
- Random errors occur when repeat measurements yield slightly different values, such as measuring the same sample multiple times on the same balance.
Physical Properties
- Examples of physical properties include smell, melting point, and color; reactivity with water is not a physical property.
Density Definition
- Density is classified as an intensive physical property.
Extensive Properties
- Examples include mass, heat, and volume; these properties depend on the quantity of the sample.
Unit Conversions
- Conversion examples include:
- 10.5 mg = 0.0105 g
- 0.0750 g = 75.0 mg
- 1.85 g/mL = 1.85 x 10³ kg/m³
- 23 cm³ = 0.023 L
- 0.2000 L = 200.0 mL
Significant Figures
- 0.05600 contains four significant figures.
Analytical Balances
- Analytical balances have higher precision than top-loading balances but generally have a lesser total capacity.
Graduated Cylinder Usage
- Graduated cylinders are not the most precise volumetric measuring devices.
Standard Deviation Inference
- Lower standard deviation indicates more precise measurements; for example, the first experiment's trials were more precise than the second's.
Volume Calculation from Mass and Density
- Volume of a 0.023211 kg sample with density 0.9982 g/mL is calculated to be 23.25 mL.
Identification of Unknown Metals
- An unknown metal with mass 23.44 g and water displacement from 6.02 cm³ to 7.23 cm³ is identified as gold.
Proper Disposal of Non-Hazardous Liquids
- Non-hazardous liquids should be disposed in designated containers, with rinses handled accordingly: the first two rinses as non-hazardous waste, subsequent rinses may go down the drain.
