AP Chemistry: Precision Vs.
Accuracy, Density
Accuracy
• How close measurements are to the true/accepted value.
Precision
• How close measurements are to each other.
• These measurements are not necessarily accurate.
Percent Error
• How much error you have in your lab measurements.
• Comparison between your experimental value/measurement to the true/accepted value.
% Error =(True – Experimental/True)x 100
Percent Error Problems
• 1) True value = 21.2g, Measured value = 17.7g
• 2) True value = 4.15ml, Measured value = 4.26 ml.
Density
Density
• Physical property of matter/substances
• Used for substance identification
• Provides information on how solids/liquids interact
• Ratio of a substance’s mass and volume (density = m/V)
• Units = SI Unit (kg/m3), we will use g/cm3 or g/ml
Example 1:
• A student records V1= 2.7ml and V2= 3.4 ml after placing an object in a graduated cylinder. The mass of an empty beaker is 1.13g and the mass of both the beaker and substance is 4.13g. What is the object’s density?
Example 2:
• It has been estimated that there are 4 x 10-6 mg of gold per liter of sea water. At a price of $22.30 per gram of gold, what would be the value of gold in 1.00 cubic kilometers of the ocean?
Example 3:
• An empty container weighs 121.3g. Filled with carbon tetrachloride (density = 1.53 g/cm3) the container weighs 283.2g. What is the volume of the container?
Example 4:
• A 55.0 gallon drum weighs 75.0 lbs. when empty. What will the total mass be when filled with ethanol based on the following information.• Density = 0.789 g/cm3
• 1 gal = 3.78 L
• 1 lb = 454g
Specific Gravity • Removes gravitational influence on a weighed object,
density should not vary with weight !
• Ratio of density of substance/density of reference
• = Dsubstance/Dreference
• Liquids/solids, Dwater = 1.000 g/ml at 3.98°C (decreases with increase/decrease in temperature)
• Gases, Dair = 1.29 g/L
• At STP (1 atm, 0°C), 1 mole of gas = 22.4 L SO density can be calculated with molecular mass of gas.
Ex. 1 A solid object has a mass of 3.04 kilograms and a volume of 3.0 x 104 cm3. What is the density and
specific gravity of the solid object?
Ex. 2 Phosphorus trifluoride is present at STP
conditions. What is its density and specific
gravity?
