DATA TRIAL 1
Temperature of hot water 85 oC
Temperature of cold water 8 oC
Volume of water which entered the flask 13mL
Volume of the flask (volume of hot air) 150.0mL
Volume of cold air (experimental) 150.0mL - 13mL= 137mL
Volume of cold air (theoretical) 117.74mL
Percent error 16.36%
CALCULATIONS:
T1 = 85 oC + 273 = 358 K
T2 = 8 oC + 273 = 281 K
V2exptl. = 150.0mL - 13mL = 137mL
QUESTIONS:
1. A clean, dry and open empty flask is being heated in a water bath. Under which conditions
