A student uses a volumetric pipet calibrated to deliver exactly 50.0mL of a liquid and then measures the mass of the liquid. how is the density determination of the liquid affected in the situations which follow? Would the density increase, decrease, or not be affected? Explain your answers

a. dirty pipet is used and water droplets adhere to the inner walls of the pipet

b. the student did not allow sufficient time for all the liquid to empty from the pipet

c. the student blew out all the liquid from the pipet, including the small amount from the tip.

d. the student did not remove air bubbles from the pipet before delivering the liquid

e. after mark on the pipet, the student didn't read the upper edge of the meniscus, not the lowest point on the Curve.

Expert Solution

Density = Mass/Volume

a.

Dirty pipet contains some dust, if the dust mass is greater than that of the liquid occuping the same volume, the mass will increase. So, density will increase. But, if the dust mass is lower than that of the liquid occuping the same volume, the mass will decrease. So, density will decrease.

b.

When the student did not allow sufficient time for all the liquid to empty from the pipet, there will left some liquid in the pipet. So, exact mass will be less. If mass is less the obviosly the density will decrease.

c.

When the student blew out all the liquid from the pipet, including the small amount from the tip. Then all lquid will be transfered along with some moisture from the mouth. So, overall mass will increase (including some moisture, which is water drop). Hence density will increase.

d.

When the student did not remove air bubbles from the pipet before delivering the liquid. The air bubble will occupy some volume, which the liquid should have occupied. So, overall mass is less, since the exact volume is not occupied by the liquid. Hence the mass is decreasing so density will decrease.

In a student experiment, a constant-volume gas thermometer is calibrated in liquid nitrogen (−196°C) and in boiling pentane (36.1°C). The separate pressures are 0.347 atm and 1.436 atm. Hint: Use the linear relationship P = A + BT, where A and B are constants. (a) What value of absolute zero does the calibration yield? °C (b) What pressure would be found at the freezing point of water? atm (c) What pressure would be found at the boiling point of water?...

1. Graduated cylinders are not as precisely calibrated as are burets or volumetric pipets. Briefly explain why it is acceptable to measure the KI and HCI solutions used in the titration with graduated cylinders rather than with pipets or burets. 2. Would the following procedural errors result in an incorrectly high or low calculated precent NaOCI in commercial bleaching solution? Briefly explain. (1) A student failed to allow the volumetric pipet to drain completely when transferring the diluted bleaching solution...

A worker for measurement Canada suspects a gas station chain has calibrated its pumps to deliver less fuel than advertised. 15 pumps are sampled by dispensing gas into a graduated container, until the metered amount of gasis exactly 40 L. From your sample, you calculate the mean amount dispensed is x̅ = 39.7 L, with s = 0.6 L. At the α = 0.05 level of signifciance, test the hypothesis that the station pumps deliver less than 40 L. Assume...

A 10.0 mL sample of liquid bleach is diluted to 100. mL in a volumetric flask. A 25.0 mL aliquot of this solution is analyzed using the procedure in this experiment. If 10.4 mL of 0.30 M Na2S2O3 is needed to reach the equivalence point, what is the percent by mass NaClO in the bleach? Hint: Percent by mass is grams of NaClO / mass of bleach. Presume a density for the bleach of 1.00 g/mL.
