Lab 3: The Metric System, Measurements and Solutions Name Lab Section Date 9/11/2020 Table Number 4 Your lab partners None Exercise 1: Measuring length Convert the values from inches or feet to centimeters and to meters and write the data in the following table (2 pts). Write your calculations and be sure to include units for full credit. Convert From Convert To Calculations: Show your work! 45 inches 115 cm 1.15 m 0.39 in = 1 cm 45/0.39 = 115 cm 115 cm/100 = 1.15 m 1 foot 92.31 cm 0.92 m 36/.39= 92.31 92.31/100 = 0.92 m Exercise 2: Measuring mass Convert the values from pounds or ounces to grams and milligrams and write the data in the following table (2 pts). Write your calculations and be sure to include units for full credit. Convert From Convert To Calculations: Show your work! 5 lbs 11023 g 11023000 mg 1 lbs = 2.2046 kg, 1 kg = 1000 g 5*2.2046 = 11.02 = 11.02*1000 = 110203 11023 * 1000 = 11023000 4 ounces 114.29 g 114290 mg 1 g = 0.035 oz 4 /0.035 = 114.29 114.29*1000 = 114290 Exercise 3: Pipetting (density of solutions) 1. Using a micropipettor, measure each of the following volumes of water into a weigh boat and record their mass (2 pts): a) 450 μL 0.43 g b) 1000 μL 0.98 g What is the measured density of water calculated for each reading?
0.43g/450 uL = 9.55 x 10 ^4 g/uL 0.98 g /1000 uL = 9.8 x 10^4 g/uL 2. Using a pi-pump pipettor, measure each of the following volumes of water into a weigh boat and record their mass (1 pts): a) 1 mL 1.01 g b) 5 mL 5.00 g c) What is the measured density of water calculated for each reading? 1.1 g/ 1 mL = 1.01 g/mL 5.00 g / 5 mL = 1 g/mL 3. Which method is the most accurate at measuring the density of a solution? You will use this method to check densities in Exercise 6. (0.5 pt) I think you can be much more exact using the micro pipette. It measures closer to the exact using a smaller measurement. The Pi-pump Pipettor is used for larger measurements. I believe that the Micro Pipettor is more accurate. Exercise 4: Making Molar Solutions 1. How many grams of NaCl would you need to prepare 30 mL of a 0.5 molar solution of NaCl? (MW = 58.44 g/mol ). Show your calculations below and make sure to include units (3 pts). Prepare this solution, label it, and set aside. 0.5 mol NaCl * (58.44 g NaCl / 1 mole NaCL) * 30mL * 1 L/1000 mL= 0.8766 g of NaCl 1 L = 1000 mL 2. Calculate the % solution of this molar solution. Show your calculations. Make sure to include units . (2 pts) 0.88 g /30 mL = 2.93 % g/mL
Exercise 5: Making a Percent Solution 1. In this exercise you will create dilutions of sucrose (if needed, refer to “ Making dilutions from stock solutions” info). You are given a stock of 60% sucrose . Write your calculations below to prepare 30 mL of 25% Sucrose. Make sure to include units . (2 pts) Prepare this solution, label it, and set aside. C1V1 = C2V2 0.6v1 = (30)0.25 V1= 12.5 mL 2. Calculate the mass of 1 mole of sucrose (C 12 H 22 O 11 ) (C=12, H=1, O=16). Show your work. (1 pts) 12(12) + 1(22) + 16(11) = 342 g/mol 3. How many grams of sucrose are in your new solution? HINT: If the original solution was 60% sugar, that means that for every 10mL of solution, there are 6 grams of sugar dissolved in it. (2 pts) 6/10 * 12.5 = 7.5 g sucrose

4. Calculate the molar concentration of the solution you made in Exercise 5.1. Show your calculations. Make sure to include units . (3 pts) 7.5 g sucrose / 30 mL = 25 % sucrose 10 Exercise 6: Checking for Solution Accuracy 1. Perform the following tests on the NaCl solution you made in exercise 4 and the known solution the instructor provided. Be sure to use the correct refractometer and include units . (3 pts) Your Solution Known Molar Solution Refractive Index (Use 1.07 max refractometer) 1.030 1.021 Density 0.97 g/mL 1.03 g/mL Conductivity 9.9 mS/cm 9.8 mS/cm Perform the following tests on the sucrose solution you made in exercise 5 and the known solution the instructor provided. Be sure to use the correct refractometer and include units . (3 pts) Your Solution Known % Solution Refractive Index (Use 30 max refractometer) 26 23 Density 1.09 g/ mL 1.09 g/mL Conductivity 0.16 mS/cm 0.01 mS/ cm 2. Explain any differences between your solutions and the known molar solution. If there weren’t any differences, list at least two factors that can influence your results. (2 pt) Based on the conclusions of my experiment there were several differences between my experiment and the professors. I have cleaned and disinfected my work area and all equipment used. I’ve returned all items and disposed of any waste, following the directions of my instructor. Initial or type your name: Johnathon Murri
I think a fair amount of it could have been human error of improper measurements when using the pipettes. For me I think my NaCl solution was off because my solution had a little too much salt. I believe I had the same happen when measuring the Sucrose, except it was a lot greater of a difference. The sucrose density would be the same but the measurements with everything else is false.
