A student needs to measure out 25.4 mL of water for a lab experiment. What is the best piece of lab glassware to complete this task?
Read the scenario below, then answer the questions:
A student needs to measure out 5.0g of salt for a step in a lab experiment. The student obtains a weigh boat, a digital scale, and scoopula. The student turns on the scale, places the weigh boat on the scale, then uses the scoopula to measure out the 5.0g of salt.
In the scenario, the student made an error. Identify the error(s) in this student's lab procedure. Explain why this step was not done properly and what should have been done instead.
Read the story below, then answer the questions:
Maria was absent the day before a lab. Instead of taking the time to read through the procedure first, she watched her neighbors to find out what to do.
What lab safety error(s) did Maria commit?
Explain why her errors could be dangerous in the lab:
A lab test was performed to find the concentration of hydrochloric acid (HCl).
Here are the results:
Trial 1 = 2.03 M
Trial 2 = 1.98 M
Trial 3 = 2.06 M
The actual true concentration of HCl was found to be 2.00 M.
The results were ...
