Mass and Volume Relationship Purpose: The purpose of the lab was to find out if there is a constant relationship between mass and volume of a given substance which happens to be water. Volume of water (mL) Total mass of water and cylinder (g) 0.00 100.425 10.00 110.354 20.00 120.269 30.00 130.231 40.00 140.234 50.00 150.247 60.00 160.181 70.00 170.119 80.00 180.043 90.00 189.974 100.00 199.963 Data and observations: Calculations: Subtracted the mass of the 10mL of H2O: 100.354-100.425=9.929 20mL: 19.844g 30mL: 29.806g 40mL: 39.809g 50mL: 49.822g 60mL: 59.756g 70mL: 69.694g 80mL: 79.618g 90mL: 89.549g 100mL: 99.583g Questions: 1: The volume predicted for 36g of water is? 2: The mass predicted for 54cm3 of water is? 3: The percent error was found to be? Slope from #2-0.998g/mL x 100 4. a. What happens to the density of water if the volume is reduced by one half? D=M/V- 99.538g/ 100mL= 0.99538 49.822/50mL=0.99644 b. Do you think that density can be used to identify a substance? Yes because a substances density is specific and it can be used to tell one object from another but not on a very accurate scale. Conclusion: 1. Results of main object: 2: Secondary objectives and or trends: • Pipet used to transfer small amounts of water • Balance is used to measure the mass • Graduated cylinder is used to measure the volume of the water The surface looked like it had double dipped when it was in the graduated cylinder. 2. Possible experimental errors: a) Putting a little too much water into the graduated cylinder. b) Not waiting completely until the number stopped. c) Not checking to see if the number was completely on zero. d) Not checking if the surface on the balance was clean and not wet. e) Calculating numbers
