A zero at the end means it was exactly level with one of the scale’s finest increment marks, “OBSERVATIONS iene [ethyl acetate [ texane | acetone {unknown |Does it dissolve in water?

(1.5 marks) Suppose you were slow to cap the vials after measuring out the liquids, and some evaporated. What effect would this have on the densities you calculated? Would this cause poor accuracy, low precision, or both?

(2 marks) To permit comparison of the precision of the two pipette types, obtain the ethyl acetate densities from three other pairs of students working near you in the lab. Complete the table below to obtain the average value of the density and its average deviation for the two different pipette types. (Remember, (1) you must calculate the average density before youcan calculate the deviations, and (2) average deviation is calculated using the absolute values of the individual deviations.) | ty from ar | Run | volumetric | Deviation | graduated | Deviation | Pipettedata | (volumetric) | pipette data | (graduated) -—-— - (ee satan | 0.40 ow [0872 [0,055 ms | cite : [2 Joa hoon [0.434 bo,o1m [3 Jot oo [0.875 Foor [4 [ago | oc [5,889 Foor hem ies| 0:9 Olid ey x [0.036 javeraes | 0.90 | 0,005) 0.917 Note: A better way to compare precision would be 10 make each student pair repeat the whole experiment several times. That would eliminate deviations caused by differences in technical skills, but we don't have time for that! ._ (2 marks) Consider the average deviations you just calculated for the two pipette types. Which pipette type yielded more precise results? Does this match your expectations based con how the two pipettes are calibrated (i,, ther level of significant figures) and how they are used?
