    The document describes a method to determine the density of water using a pipette and burette. It outlines the procedures, which involve weighing empty and filled containers to determine water mass and volume. Results showed the pipette method was more accurate based on lower standard deviation. The pipette is therefore concluded to be a more accurate tool for measuring liquid volumes.

    AIM

    Use the most accurate method to determine the density of water.

    THEORY
    ACCURANCY-Is the proximity of measurement results to the true value.
    PRECISION-Is the degree to which repeated or reproducible measurement under
    unchanged conditions show the same results.

    STANDARD DEVIATION-Is the measure of dispersion of a set of data from it’s


    mean.It measure’s the absolute variability of a distribution,the higher the
    dispersion or variability the greater is the standard deviation and greater will be
    the magnitude of deviation of the value from their mean.

    DENSITY-Is calculated by dividing the mass by the volume so that density is


    measured as units of mass/volume often g/ml.

    WHY SCALE/BALANCE MUST BE PRECISE-The scale must be precise because


    precision involves more than just the numbers and precision balance provide an
    accurate quick and simple way to determine the weight of items such as
    particulate matter.
    VOLUME THAT IS ACCURATE WHEN MEASURERING LIQUID VOLUMES-Burette and
    Pipettes are both analytical tools.The key difference between Burette and Pipettes
    is in the release mechanism hence Burette have a stopcock at the bottom while
    Pipette has a dropper like a system that releases liquid in the desired
    amount.Therefore Pipettes are more accurate in measuring liquid volumes than
    Burettes.

    PROCEDURE
    PIPETTE:
    -Weigh the mass of the empty beaker.
    -Put 25cm^2 of distilled water into a pre-weighed beaker by pipette.
    -Weigh the beaker and water together.
    -Rehash 5 times drying the beaker each time.
    -Determine the mass of the water.
    -Use the avarage mass and standard deviation to get the results.
    -Calculate the density of water.
    -The precision and accurancy of the review results

    BURRET:
    -Weigh the mass of the empty beaker.
    -Drain the burette 2 or 3 times using distilled water.
    -Burette to zero level with distilled water.
    -The water should run until the bottom of the menisus matches the zero line.
    -Pour 25cm^3 of water into the a pre-weighed beaker.
    -Weigh the water and beaker together.
    -Determine the mass of the water.
    -Use the average mass and standard deviation to get the results.
    -Calculate the density of water.
    -The precision and accurancy of the review results.

    DISCUSSION
    -My results for the Pipette density were=0.99 and Burette density were=1,56
    -My results for Pipette standard deviation were =0.04 and Burette standard
    deviation were=2.9.
    ACCORDING TO MY RESULTS THE PIPETTE IS MORE ACCURATE THAN THE BURETT.

    CONCLUSION
    -The Pipette is more accurate and the Burette is least accurate
