Precision and Accuracy in the Laboratory Precision – This is a word used to describe the quality; fact or condition of being exact and accurate.(1) Accuracy – This is a word to describe the quality or state of being correct or precise. (2) AIM: The aim of the practical is to assess the accuracy and precision of three types of pipette. Abstract: In this experiment‚ I am going to be assessing the accuracy of a 10ml graduated pipette‚ a 1ml blowout pipette and a Gilson P1000 automatic pipette. This

cylinder INTRODUCTION The purpose of this experiment is to study the relationship of several types of volumetric glassware and the accuracy of measuring the volumes of liquids very precisely in quantitative laboratory work. The accuracy of the measurement the volumes is the degree of closeness of measurements of a quantity’s actual volumes while the precision of the volumes is the degree to which repeated measurements under unchanged conditions show the same results. Each of volumetric glassware

Lab No.1: density‚ accuracy and precision Aim: to determine the relative precision and accuracy of different glassware items by calculating the density of a known substance. Introduction: the density of a substance is its mass per unit volume. (where P-density‚ m- mass and v- volume). Different materials usually have different densities and densities vary according to the pressure‚ temperature and purity of a substance. When measuring‚ there is always a small uncertainty or error and therefore

Equipment Calibration is defined as the act of adjusting and evaluating the precision and accuracy of measured equipment. It allows the user to get an accurate and precise reading of measurements to its actual true value. However‚ in order for the experiment to be effective is must consist of validity‚ reliability‚ and objectivity. Validity is defined as the ability of a test to measure what it claims to measure. Reliability is the consistency of test results and objectivity is defined as a test

Spectrophotometer Introduction In scientific experiments‚ correct measurements are required to achieve precise and accurate data. Precision is the degree to which several measurements provide answers very close to each other. Accuracy describes the nearness of a measurement to the standard or true value. Certain measuring devices are used to attain precision and accuracy. One example is the Air displacement pipette or the micropipettes. The micropipettes are measuring tools used to transfer liquid

01.07 Accuracy and Precision: Balance Lab Worksheet Measurement * Measurement is an important skill used for data collection and data analysis. Careful attention to the accuracy and degree of uncertainty of each measuring device is necessary for proper data collection. Significant figures are used to record or report measurements accurately. * This laboratory activity will give you the opportunity to get more familiar with some of the basic measuring devices that are common in chemistry

uncertainty gives the reader an idea of the precision and accuracy of your measurements. Use the following method for finding the uncertainty associated with any measuring device used in lab. First‚ find the least count‚ or the smallest printed increment‚ of the measuring device. On the meter sticks‚ the least count is 1 mm. On the double pan balances‚ the least count is 0.1 g. On the small graduated cylinders‚ the least count is 25 ml. If you are using the full precision of the instrument‚ you are probably

Daniel H. Perry Procedures of Measurement and Density of Sugar in Soda Introduction The main focus of this lab was to acquire a basic understanding of how to properly use measuring devices in order to determine properties of a liquid. These properties are volume‚ mass‚ and density. The following measurements were obtained in the lab: density of water‚ both density and concentration of aqueous sugar solutions‚ and density of various soft drinks with respect to sugar. Additional experience was
