    This document discusses measurements that are commonly taken in chemistry experiments. It describes how volume, temperature, time, and mass are the four basic physical quantities measured. It focuses on measuring the volume of liquids, noting that the apparatus used depends on the volume and desired accuracy. Common tools for measuring volume include measuring cylinders, pipettes, and burettes. The document also briefly outlines how other measurements like temperature, time, mass, and gas collection are taken.

    Experimental Chemistry
    Measurements in Chemistry

    Measurements in Chemistry
    Four basic physical quantities measured in Chemistry experiments:
    1. 2. 3. 4.

    Volume Temperature Time Mass

    Measurement: Volume of Liquids

    The apparatus used depends on:


    the volume being measured
    how accurate the measurement needs to be

    Common apparatus:
    Measuring Burette Pipette

    cylinder

    Beaker**
    Conical

    flask**

    Measurement: Volume of Liquids

    Measuring cylinder
    Only used for measuring approximate volume Accurate only to the nearest 1 cm3

    Measurement: Volume of Liquids

    Bulb pipette
    Measures out precise volumes EXACTLY 20.0 cm3, 25.0 cm3 or 50.0 cm3 Used with a pipette filler

    Measurement: Volume of Liquids

    Burette
    Long scale: 0 cm3 to 50 cm3 Each graduation is 0.1 cm3 Accurate up to 0.05 cm3

    Other Measurements

    Physical quantity to be measured volume of gases temperature

    Apparatus gas syringe thermometer Measures up to 100 cm3 Accuracy to 0.5C Measures to nearest second Measures to nearest 0.01 g

    time
    mass of substance

    digital stopwatch electronic balance

    Apparatus for Chemistry Experiments

    Water bath: Heating flammable liquid

    Apparatus for Chemistry Experiments: Rates of reaction

    Change in mass

    Apparatus for Chemistry Experiments: Rates of reaction

    Collecting and measuring a volume of gas

    Conical flask VS test tube

    Collection of Gases
    Methods depends on the physical properties of the gas the solubility of the gas in water the density of the gas compared to air

    Collection of Gases:
    Solubility & Density of Common Gases
    Gas Solubility in water

    Density compared to air

    ammonia carbon dioxide chlorine hydrogen oxygen sulfur dioxide

    extremely soluble slightly soluble soluble not soluble very slightly soluble very soluble

    less dense denser denser less dense slightly denser denser

    Collection of Gases:
    Dry Samples
    Dry samples can be obtained by passing the gas through a drying agent.
    Common drying agents:

    concentrated sulfuric acid [ ammonia] quicklime (calcium oxide) [ ammonia] Fused calcium chloride

    Concentrated Sulfuric acid

    Quicklime & Fused Calcium Chloride
