Title: Equipment, Safety, and Mass/Volume Measurement
Purpose: The purpose of this experiment is to learn how to be safe while working in the
chemistry
... [Show More] lab. Also, to learn about different equipment and how it is used properly in the
chemistry lab setting. Lastly, to learn how to measure mass and volume using different
equipment.
Procedure:
Analytical Balance Mass Measurement:
1) Five (5) analytical balances should be placed on a countertop and zeroed.
2) A cell phone is placed on analytical balance 1.
3) A value is read and recorded from analytical balance 1 in grams for the mass of the cell
phone.
4) The cell phone is removed from the analytical balance.
5) A graduated cylinder is placed on analytical balance 1.
6) A value is read and recorded from analytical balance 1 in grams for the mass of the
graduated cylinder.
7) The graduated cylinder is removed from the analytical balance.
8) A metal cylinder is placed on analytical balance 1.
9) A value is read and recorded from analytical balance 1 in grams for the mass of the metal
cylinder.
10) The metal cylinder is removed from the analytical balance.
11) The same cell phone is placed on analytical balance 2.
12) A value is read and recorded from analytical balance 2 in grams for the mass of the cell
phone.
13) The cell phone is removed from the analytical balance.
14) The same graduated cylinder is placed on analytical balance 2.
15) A value is read and recorded from analytical balance 2 in grams for the mass of the
graduated cylinder.
16) The graduated cylinder is removed from the analytical balance.
17) The same metal cylinder is placed on analytical balance 2.
18) A value is read and recorded from analytical balance 2 in grams for the mass of the metal
cylinder.
19) The metal cylinder is removed from the analytical balance.
20) The same cell phone is placed on analytical balance 3.
21) A value is read and recorded from analytical balance 3 in grams for the mass of the cell
phone.
22) The cell phone is removed from the analytical balance.
23) The same graduated cylinder is placed on analytical balance 3. [Show Less]
