Calculating The Slope Lab Report

779 Words4 Pages

Calculating the Slope Slope = y2 - y1x2-x1 = 57.47 - 18.7460 - 20 = 38.7340 = 0.96825 g/mL The density graph has been based off all the information in the chart above. All the specific volumes and masses were recorded in this graph, in order to help compare the two and see the difference. In addition to this, a trendline was added in order to calculate the slope of the line. The slope line is a representation of the change in density overtime. More specifically, it shows the change of value in the mass of the water per the change of volume. The equation used to calculate the slope was y2 - y1x2-x1 . The values of each were replaced with 57.47 - 18.7460 - 20 - the numerators are the corresponding mass to number located under (e.g. the mass …show more content…

Looking at this value, and comparing the experimentally determined values, the values do not exactly match up, but are close together, as the values are only 0.4 - 0.6 g/mL away from the value of 1 g/mL. One reason why the values may not match up is because of the amount of liquid used. Sometimes, the value of water poured into the graduated cylinder may not be equal to specific volume which was to be used. In order to improve that, making the water volume more precise may allow for more accurate results. Secondly, the type of water used may of affected the value. If we take a look at pure water, the value of it at room temperature is 0.99823 g/mL. If we use this water (by boiling it before hand), and confirming the density is equal to the accepted value, than it will increase the chance of being more accurate. Another reason as to why I suggest this is because tap water may have other substances or little things mixed, which may cause an inaccurate reading of the mass which will cause an error in density, so it is better to use pure water. Finally, temperature may play a big role in this as well.The accepted room temperature would the density of 1g/mL is 21°C. If the room temperature is measured, then it can be considered that there will be a change in density due to an increase or decrease in the average room

    To graph population or disease, we needed to use exponents; in equation-form, the exponent was an X, but it could be substituted for any number, which would represent the year. You would also find the current population or number of cases and divide them by the amount the previous year (the starting number) and add that to one to find the rate, which would show you if it was growth or decay. Finally, you use the starting number as your constant or y-intercept. If you were trying to graph the decay of a population, the equation could be: y=150,000(1.5)x; if you were trying to graph decay, the equation could be: y=150,000(0.5)x. You can replace X with any number (number of years) to find the population in the future (positive number) or in the past (negative numbers).

    In this week’s lab we had to determine the density of a quarter, penny, and dime. My question was “How does is each coin?” Density is the amount of mass in an object. To find the density of each coin in this lab, we used a triple beam balance to find each coin’s mass and a graduated cylinder to find their volumes. With all this information, I can now form a hypothesis.

    The equation is f(x+h)-f(x)/h. This formula finds the slope of the sectant line that goes through two points that are on a graph of f. These are the points with x- coordinates x and x+h. It also allows you to find the slope of any curve or line at any single point. The difference between this and the slope formula is y is used as the y-axis, but in the difference quotient, the change in the y-axis is described by f(x).

    In this lab we used two processes called Diffusion and Osmosis. Diffusion is the movement of molecules from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration. Diffusion is a process that requires no energy and involves smaller non-polar molecules. In Figure 1 you can see the molecules spreading throughout the glass from the area of high concentration, so that the areas with low concentration are filled evenly as well. The other process was osmosis.

  • Water Hydration Lab Report

    In this experiment, the amount of water lost in the 0.99 gram sample of hydrated salt was 0.35 grams, meaning that 35.4% of the salt’s mass was water. The unknown salt’s percent water is closest to that of Copper (II) Sulfate Pentahydrate, or CuSO4 ⋅ 5H2O. The percent error from the accepted percent water in CuSO4 ⋅ 5H2O is 1.67%, since the calculated value came out to be 0.6 less than the accepted value of 36.0%.This lab may have had some issues or sources of error, including the possibility of insufficient heating, meaning that some water may not have evaporated, that the scale was uncalibrated, or that the evaporating dish was still hot while being measured. This would have resulted in convection currents pushing up on the plate and making it seem lighter by lifting it up
