The purpose of this lab was to create an experiment to test samples of plastic-like cylinders, to see if the different masses had an effect on the density of the objects. The original hypothesis was if the mass of the substance increased there would be no effect on its density.
As seen in the data analysis, the average density was 1.7 (g/mL), with only a negligible 0.1 (g/mL) difference across all four masses of the substance. Furthermore in the data, if the mass of the substance increased, the volume increased proportionally with it. This information ultimately supports our hypothesis. As addressed during classroom lectures, the relationship between the two variables is most likely explained by the fact that density is a ratio. It would be logical to assume that while the mass and volume increase at the same rate, the division of mass by volume would result in nearly the same number.

However, while the accuracy of the calculated average density is unknown, it was very precise, given the negligible 0.1 (g/mL) inconsistency. Possible sources of errors could result from inaccurate following of the procedure, or a lack of good time management. These would result in human errors such as rushing and taking inaccurate measurements, both which would result in flawed raw data. This could be remedied by carefully following each step in the procedure and slowing down movements to reduce measurement error. However, do not believe we had many flaws in the execution of our
When the pH is not at its optimum, the differing pH's will disrupt the bonding between the R groups of the amino acid causing its structure and the shape of the activation site to change
1. Form hypothesis: How do you think cutting up a material will affect its density? I think the density will be the same.
The purpose of the lab was to determine the ratio of air to acetylene results in complete combustion of acetylene gas. The balanced chemical equation for this experiment was C2H2(g) + O2(g) --> CO2(g)+ H2O(l). Complete combustion is the reaction of an element or compound with oxygen to produce the most common oxides and energy. Complete combustion occurs when the fuel and oxygen combine in exact proportions to completely burn the fuel, which leaves a clean test tube. Incomplete combustion is the reaction of an element or compound with oxygen to produce some oxides with less oxygen than the most common oxides. Incomplete combustion occurs when there is not enough oxygen to react
This experiment was performed to determine the difference in density between pre-1982 pennies and post-1982 pennies. In addition, we were given an unknown substance and our task was to configure what it was through calculating its volume,mass, and density. Furthermore, we were being introduced to the procedures of displacement in this experiment as well. All together, we were given the task of finding out why there was a difference in density between the two pennies. My partner, Michael Sapawa, and I first had to measure the mass of both pennies using a scale. Then we calculated the volume of the samples with graduated cylinders through the method known as displacement. We then applied our schema and drew out the formula for density, which
If I fill up two different containers with different amounts of water, then I will be able to understand the density of the two different mass/volumes of two different containers.
This experiment was performed to observe differences in density based on the chemical makeup of an object. Pennies minted before 1982, pennies minted after 1982, and an unknown metal sample was tested to see if there were any differences in their densities. Ten pennies from each category and the metal sample were weighed using a scale to find mass and the displacement method was used to find their volumes. The masses and volumes were then used to calculate the densities of the pennies (D=m/v). The density of the pre-1982 pennies were 8.6 g/mL while the post-1982 pennies were 6.9 g/mL. The metal sample’s density was 1.7 g/mL. Following the experiment we were given the real densities of each item to calculate the percent error with the formula

Introduction: Accuracy and precision were the major aspects of the lab. Accuracy is how close the average of the measured values are to the actual value. Precision is the closeness of repeated measurements. In the lab, the aim was to get as close as possible with both accuracy and precision when determining the mass and volume of the spheres. The mass was determined by weighing the spheres on the Analytical Scale and Triple Beam Balance Scale. The volume is determined by measuring with a ruler and by water displacement. The standard
The density decreases. Density of the liquid sample is the mass divide by the volume. If the mass stays constant and the volume increases then the density of the liquid sample will decrease.
(Lab: A Penny For Your Thoughts). The density of a matter is equal to the mass divided into the volume. The mass of a matter or object can be found by using a scale. Furthermore, the volume can be found using the method of water displacement. The purpose of finding
In Measuring and Understanding Density, several experiments were performed to find density of regularly shaped objects, irregularly shaped objects, liquids and gasses. An additional experiment was done to find the specific gravity of a sampling of liquids. The purpose of the experiment was to provide a better understanding of density and to be able to extrapolate unknowns based upon these calculations. The experiments yielded data in keeping with Kinetic-molecular theory in regards to the density of water versus its temperature. Key measurements and formulae were also used to determine densities of metal and plastic objects as well as irregularly shaped rocks. It is possible to find the density of an object (be it liquid, gas or
