Title: Laboratory Techniques and Measurements Purpose: To become familiar with common laboratory equipment and to become proficient in measuring volume, mass, length, temperature, density, and concentrations. Procedure: Length Measurements were determined using a metric ruler and measuring to the nearest mm. Temperature Measurements of boiling and ice water were measured using a thermometer and measuring to the nearest degree. Mass was measured using a digital scale in grams. Volume and density were determined by using a beaker of liquid and a digital scale for liquid measurements. Voume and density of solids were determined by calculating the volume with a ruler and measuring mass with digital scale. Water displacement was measured by placing an object in a container of water and measuring change in volume. Archimedes’ Method was determined by submerging an object which was hanging from a string into the liquid. The density of concentration was measured using volume and mass and also using different concentrations of liquids.
