Exp179

=Researcher= Jianbo Zhao

=Objective= The objective of experiment 179 is to determine whether pure methanol density which measured with different flasks have any influence on it. And there is another experiment, we added some cinnamic acid into pure methanol that have already calculated. Besides, there are some solutions which suppose to be measured as concentration of 1.3M, 1.4M and a saturated solution (from EXP178). Thus, another objective is to measure the density of each solution in different volumes of flasks. =Procedure= 1. Weight the empty volumetric flasks (2 of 1 ml, 3 of 2 ml, 2 of 5 ml and 2 of 10 ml) 2. Add pure methanol and weigh 3. Clean with acetone and dry them with blowing air for about one minute 4. Weigh 1.3M solution, wash with some 1.4M solution and weigh that then wash the empty volume flasks with some saturated solution and weigh them.

Pure methanol density: 10ml: 0.779 +/- 0.000587 5ml: 0.7794 +/- 0.008004 2ml: 0.772 +/- 0.0121287 1ml: 0.750 +/- 0.0031820

=Discussion= =Conclusion= From the data and observation, we can conclude as follows =Log=
 * 1) The published density of pure methanol at 25C is 0.78656 g/ml and at 20C is 0.7913 g/ml. ([|DDBST] )
 * 2) All of the measured values for the density of pure methanol in this experiment are below this range.
 * 3) There seems to be a correlation between the flask size and mean density, with the smallest flask has the lowest measurement of the density of methanol. This might be due to undershooting the meniscus generally and the highest error would be for the smallest flask.
 * 4) There does not appear to be a consistent trend with respect to the standard deviation and flask size. More measurements are required.
 * 5) The data did not relate to exp 178. The reason for it was probably the meniscus of measuring the volume.
 * 6) The measurements of the solutions of known concentration were off by 6-30%, which is much higher than the maximum error of 4% in EXP178 for the same solutions. It is likely that error in reading the meniscus is at least partially the source of the larger error.
 * 1) Except 1ml, as the volume of flasks increases, the standard deviation decreases. Which mean the error decreases as the measurement volume increases.
 * 2) All the measured values are below the published range.
 * 3) There are large error of the solution cinnamic acid in pure methanol.

start to measure another solution which have concentrations of 1.3,1.4 and 1.5 **[SJK: I don't know what "tube one" means below, especially since the procedure isn't very detailed. It would seem like the log is copies from one line to the next and then editied, so maybe it's supposed to say "tube two" etc.? Not sure.]** 16:51 Start to measure 1.3M in tube one.
