Experiment 1: The Density of Beverages
August 15, 2016
Objectives:
To measure the density of water using graduated cylinder, pipet, and buret
To compare the precision and accuracy of measurements for each type of glassware
To measure the density of sucrose solutions with different concentrations
To construct a calibration curve of density and percent by mass
To determine the percent by mass of the two unknown beverages using the
calibration curve

Waste disposal

No emergency
care anticipated.

Follow federal,
state, and local
regulations for
waste.

Precautions: Keep
locked up. Keep
away from heat.
Empty containers
pose a fire risk,evaporate the
residue under a
fume hood. Keep
away from
incompatibles
such as oxidizing
agents, acids.
Eye Contact:
Flush eyes with
plenty of water
for at least 15
minutes.
Skin Contact:
Wash with soap
and water.
Inhalation:
Remove to fresh
air.
Ingestion: Do NOT

Disposed in
accordance with
federal, state and
local
environmental
control
regulations.

induce vomiting
unless directed to
do so by medical
personnel.
Apparatus:
2 50-ml beakers, thermometer, buret, graduated cylinder, pipet, top loading
balance, Microsoft Excel
Procedure:
Part A
Place 80 mL of distilled water in a 100-mL beaker and label it as stock distilled
water.
Add 10.0 mL stock distilled water to the graduated cylinder.
Record the combined mass of the graduated cylinder and water before and after
adding 10.0 mL stock distilled water to determine its mass by difference.
Repeat thrice.
Transfer exactly 10 mL of stock distilled water to a 50-mL beaker using a pipet.
Record the combined mass of the beaker and water before and after adding 10.0 mL
stock distilled water to determine its mass by difference.
Repeat thrice.
Fill the 50-mL buret with distilled water and the remaining stock distilled water.
Drain 10 mL of stock distilled water into a 50-mL beaker.
Record the buret readings before and after draining 10.0 mL stock distilled water to
determine the actual volume used by difference.
Record the combined mass of the beaker and water before and after adding 10.0 mL
stock distilled water to determine its mass by difference.
Repeat thrice.
Part B *measurements in duplicate
Place 40 mL of each standard sucrose solutions in separate 50-mL beakers and label
them with the corresponding concentration of its contents.
*starting with the lowest concentration
Use the sucrose solution to rinse the buret with 5-10 mL and then to fill it with 30
mL.
Discharge 10 mL of the sucrose solution into a 50-mL beaker.
Record the combined mass of the beaker and water before and after adding 10.0 mL
stock distilled water to determine its mass by difference.
Repeat twice.
Repeat the measurement for the remaining sucrose solutions and the two unknown
samples.
