6.03 Calorimetry Lab
1
Weigh the beaker.

2
Add 50 milliliters of the solution you want to test to the beaker and record its mass. The mass of the solution is equal to the total mass minus the mass of the beaker.

3
Divide the mass of the solution by its volume -- in this case, 50 milliliters -- to find its density.

4
Empty, rinse and dry the beaker. Add 4.3 grams of sugar to the empty beaker, then add water until the contents reach 50 milliliters in volume. Stir until the sugar dissolves, then measure the mass of the sugar solution and its volume. Divide mass by volume to find density and record this figure.

5
Repeat this process, but now using 8.6 grams of sugar instead of 4.3; again, record the density. Repeat the process again with 17.1 grams

    D. Density is a very important concept for chemist. The density of a substance can be obtained in a chemistry laboratory. 1. A rubber stopper with a mass of 23.75 g is dropped in a 50-mL graduated cylinder that has 20.4 mL of water. After the stopper is dropped in the graduated cylinder, the water level rises to 24.7 mL. What is the density of the rubber stopper? (5 pts) 2.375 g / (24.7 mL – 20.4 mL) = 5.523255814 g / mL = 5.52 g / mL (5.5 g /mL is…

    Leave water out for a night so it will become distilled water with no chlorine. Clean an area of space you think is suitable, preferably lab tables. Take out 5 beakers. Take out an electric mass scale. Turn on electric mass scale (power button) and place a beaker on top of the scale. Make sure to only measure one beaker at a time. Wait till the digits on the screen slow down and stop at a number. The number it stopped at, that is the number you will right down in your lab book (that you will get out) as scrap notes. After you have measured each beaker make sure all the beakers are relatively close to each other. For example, 52.2 grams and 52.5 grams are okay, but 52.2 grams and 54.7 grams are not close enough. List of my beaker weights: 50.95, 50.85, 50.19, 50.85 and 50.81. Get your water you left out yesterday. Kneel down and make sure that you and the beaker are at eye level so the water measurement will be more precise. Pour distilled water into the beakers until the water hits the 50mL line. Then measure water that is in each beaker separately on scale. (Subtract the weight of the water and beaker together to get how much the water…

    As a side note, upon researching the molecular weight of sugar, I found it to be 342.30 g, not 331.23 g, however, in my calculation I used 15.00 g as the molecular weight of O2, whereas online 16.00 g was used. Eight8 g of sugar were placed on the scale, and then transferred into the volumetric flask (Table 8 shows the calculations of the molecular weight, moles, mass, volume and molarity recorded before doing so). Distilled water was added to the sugar until a total of 25mL were in the flask. Then the flask was capped, and the solution was mixed together until the sugar was dissolved. Once dissolved, the solution was transferred into the glass beaker, and certain aspects were measured and recorded in table 9. Once this step was complete, 2.5 mL were removed from the solution, and diluted in the volumetric flask. The steps were then repeated using different amounts of the diluted solution each time.This laboratory involved utilizing equipment to dilute a sugar water solution. It also created solutions containing varying levels of concentrations and densities. Equations were used to figure the molecular weight of the sugar, and the number of moles of sugar in the volumetric flask. There was also an equation to figure the Molarity, as well. As a result of the experiment, I now have a better understanding of the density of a concentration, and what Molarity is growth.…
