Document Summary
Assess the accuracy and precision of volumetric glassware. University of maryland, college park; includes material by h. a neidig, lebanon valley college, and henry d. schreiber , vmi. To identify an unknown solid from mass and displaced volume data. To identify the linear graphic relationship between these quantities as an intrinsic characteristic of the unknown. To use results from various pieces of volumetric glassware to assess the relative accuracy and precision of each. Conventions about reading and recording volumetric measurements to the maximum number of allowed significant figures and how different types of volumetric glassware are used. In the chemistry laboratory, volume is measured using a variety of glassware. Some simply hold an estimated amount of material; others are intended to deliver well-defined quantities of material. Knowing which should be used in a given circumstance requires an assessment of whether the volume to be measured can be approximate or must be well-known.
