5 GRAPHS AND TABLES
• When finding gradient, always use triangle with
hypotenuse greater than half of the line
• Label axis with quantity and unit • Water vapor condenses in water trough
• Plot graph with fine cross or encircle dots
• For each heading in a table, write the quantity 7 SALT ANALYSIS
measured with the unit separated with a solidus • If acid added to a salt and produces effervescence,
• Keep significant figures consistent in values in a table carbonate ion present and write “effervescence
• Make only one table of result for each question produced turns limewater milky”

• How do repeats improve reliability of errors?
o Shows consistent results
o Proves/shows values or trend is similar
o Eliminates anomalous results
• How can you make sure a reagent is in excess?
o If solid in excess, then solid remains at the bottom
o If liquid (e.g. acid in excess), then all of the solid
dissolves
Problem Solution
CO2 dissolved in solution Heat solution to drive off
CO2
Heat loss • Extra/thicker lagging
• use a lid
• use a vacuum flask
Measurement of volume Use a burette/pipette
Identification of color Use of colorimeter
change
Temperature fluctuations • Use of thermostatic
water bath
• Switch off air
conditioning
Measurement of • Use a thermometer with
temperature a smaller scale division
• Use an electronic
thermometer to avoid
parallax error
