A. Density of water - graph

1. Plot a graph of mass against volume by putting dots on the grid.

• Use to draw the line to connect the dots.

Mass against volume of water at 25.5°C

Use this tools:

Dots

Lines

Copy them and add into

your graph.

[2]

2. Density is the gradient of the graph.

• Calculate the gradient.
• Report your answer in 3 significant figures
• No need to show working.

𝑐ℎ𝑎𝑛𝑔𝑒 𝑖𝑛 𝑦
Gradient =
𝑐ℎ𝑎𝑛𝑔𝑒 𝑖𝑛 𝑥

[1]
Gradient = 1.00

B. Accuracy and precision:

1. Calculate the density of the water.

• No need to show working.
• Report you value to the correct significant figures.

Density values

Trial Graduated cylinder (± 0.5 mL) Pipette (± 0.02 mL)

1 0.992 g/mL 0.998 g/mL

2 1.008 g/mL 1.001 g/mL

3 0.982 g/mL 0.989 g/mL

Average 0.994 g/mL 0.996 g/mL

[2]

2. Calculate the deviation of density.

• No need to show working.
• Report in ONE significant figures.
• Deviation is positive value.

Deviation of density = │density – average density│

Trial Deviation of Graduated cylinder Deviation of Pipette

1
0.002 g/mL 0.002 g/mL

2
0.001 g/mL 0.005 g/mL

3
0.001 g/mL 0.007 g/mL

Average 0.001 g/mL 0.004 g/mL

Given theoretical density at 25.5°C = 0.996914 g mL-1

3. Calculate the percentage error for graduated cylinder and pipette.

• No need to show working.
• Report in the correct significant figures.
• Use the formula below:
Theoretical density − Experimental average density
% Error = | | × 100
Theoretical density

Graduated cylinder Pipette

Percentage error 0.29% 0.09%

[2]

Questions

1. From the average deviation that you obtained, which measuring apparatus is precise? Give your
reason.
Graduated cylinder is more precise than because the values are closer to each other

2. From the percentage error that you obtained, which measuring apparatus is accurate? Give your
reason.
Pipette is more accurate as it is closer to the true value (0%) with 0.09%

3. Briefly explain the pattern of your graph.

As the volume of water increases, the mass of water increases (volume of water is directly
proportional to the mass of water at 25.5 Celsius

[6]

Conclusion:
The density of water from the graph is _____1_________ g/ mL.
The _______pipette__________ is more accurate and the ________cylinder___________ is more
precise.
