Tools Used for Measuring Temperature

Step 3: Use the thermometer to identify and record the temperature for room temperature, in your refrigerator, in your freezer, and then research the temperature of boiling water (do not take this temperature) and record them in Table 2.

Procedure: Using distilled water, premeasured containers and objects determine displacement of fluids and density of objects. Use ice and heat measure temperatures in Celsius, Fahrenheit and Kelvin.

2. Determine the room’s air temperature, and also measure the diameter of the glass tube. Record the data.

2. Read and record the temperature of the gas using the thermometer attached to the container.

Place the beaker on the hot plate, place the thermometer in the beaker and set the hot plate to 5oC.

A scale conversion is calculated and the measurements from each thermometer are examined to see how closely correlated they are. _M___

The boiling point elevation constant for water that was experimentally determined in this analysis was 0.4396 °C/m, which was derived from the slope of the trend line in Figure 2. This is slightly lower than the constant provided in lecture of 0.51 °C/m. This could be due to further evaporation of water from the solutions tested via refractive index after the boiling temperature was recorded.

Abstract: This experiment introduced the student to lab techniques and measurements. It started with measuring length. An example of this would be the length of a nickel, which is 2cm. The next part of the experiment was measuring temperature. I found that water boils around 95ºC at 6600ft. Ice also has a significant effect on the temperature of water from the tap. Ice dropped the temperature about 15ºC. Volumetric measurements were the basis of the 3rd part of the experiment. It was displayed during this experiment that a pipet holds about 4mL and that there are approximately 27 drops/mL from a short stem pipet. Part 4 introduced the student to measuring

5.) Measure out 20ml of water from 4 different parts of the wetland and place it into four different beakers. Measure the temperature with the thermometer and record the results

There Fahrenheit witnessed the first thermometers called thermoscopes. Thermoscopes fascinated Fahrenheit to skip out of his apprenticeship and immerse himself in meteorological experiments, including barometers and thermometers. Fahrenheit distinctly borrowed money to fund his experiments in thermometer making. The city assembly became furious in his actions and sought an arrest warrant for the

This experiment is conducted in order to study a condensed system (solid-liquid) at constant temperature (atmospheric temperature). It should be noted that the atmospheric pressure is unlikely to be the equilibrium pressure for the system. However, equilibria in condensed systems are not very sensitive to pressure.

8. In order confidently determine what substance my “G9R” was I would have to do over the boiling point experiment a couple of more times. I would turn the gas off and take the Bunsen burner away from the apparatus when the stream of bubbles started coming out from the mouth of the capillary tube. This would allow me to correctly determine when the atmospheric pressure was equal to the vapour pressure.

A volumetric pipette & measuring cylinder can be calibrated by just weighing the water they deliver. As for volumetric flask, the weight of an empty flask is recorded. Next, weigh the flask after filling it with water to the mark.

Measuring moving objects-Due to its short response time, pyrometers can be used to measure the temperature of fast moving
