Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to determine the identity of an unknown liquid by measuring
It’s density and boiling point, and then comparing the results to the values for known
substances.
Data and Calculations: The experiment is divided into two parts (Part A and Part B). In the first
part of experiment, the density of unknown liquid is measured by measuring
volume using three glassware.

Density = Mass/Volume (g/mL)
Trial 1: Density = 12.1933 g/15.1 mL
= 0.808 g/mL
Trial 2: Density = 24.1116 g/30.2 mL
= 0.798 g/mL
Trial 3: Density = 36.2822 g/45.3 mL
= 0.801 g/mL
Average value of Density = (0.808 g/mL + 0.798 g/mL + 0.801 g/mL)/3
= 0.802 g/mL
Observations:
The unknown liquid may evaporates if it is remain open so it may cause some uncertainty.
The unknown liquid have colorless and some identical odor characteristics.

Mass liquid (g) = [(Mass beaker + liquid) – (Mass empty beaker)] (g)
Density = Mass/ Volume (g/mL)
Trial 1: Density = 7.9662 g/10.01 mL
= 0.7958 g/mL
Trial 2: Density = 15.8713 g/20.01 mL
= 0.7932 g/mL
Trial 3: Density = 23.7384 g/30.02 mL
= 0.7861 g/mL
Average value of Density = (0.7958 g/mL + 0.7932 g/mL + 0.7861 g/mL)/3
= 0.7917 g/mL
Observations:
The unknown liquid may evaporates if it remains open so it may cause some uncertainty.
The unknown liquid have colorless and some identical odor characteristics.
Few drops of unknown liquid were remained in volumetric pipette, which may cause
uncertainty in volume of unknown liquid.
Volumetric pipette work accurate at normal room temperature (25? C) but there was less
temperature in room.

Initial volume of unknown liquid = 10.01 mL
Second volume of unknown liquid = 20.01 mL

Mass liquid (g) = [(Mass beaker + liquid) – (Mass empty beaker)] (g)
Density = Mass/ Volume (g/mL)

Observations:

The unknown liquid have colorless and some identical odor characteristics.
![Page 5: Chemistry Lab report by Determining Unknown by Finding it's Boiling point And Density.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022082808/55506c8ab4c905cc0f8b4916/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
There was air bubble in the burette pipe, which may cause the uncertainty in measuring the
value of volume of unknown liquid.
Overall Average Value of Density = (0.802 g/mL + 0.7917 g/mL + 0.7901 g/mL)/3
= 0.7946 g/mL
In the second part of experiment, the unknown liquid is determine by checking it’s boiling point by
performing three trial.
Trial 1 Trial 2 Trial 3
Boiling point ( ?C) 81 78 77
Average value = (81 ? C + 78 ? C + 77 ? C)/3
= 79 ? C
Observations:
1. Water inside the beaker starts bubbling after 70 ? C.
2. Some pieces of boiling chip starts bubbling at 50 ?C, and then floating over the surface of hot
water.
3. Capillary tube starts bubbling rapidly at 80.5 ? C.
4. The filling up of capillary tube starts when bubbling stops and it happens slowly and gradually.
5. When vapor pressure becomes equal to the atmospheric pressure of room, that is 100.5 KPa
then capillary tube starts filling up the unknown liquid.
6. The cotton used to cover the mouth of 75 mm test tube was getting wet because of the vapors of
unknown liquid.
7. After disposing the remaining unknown liquid the capillary tube remain stuck inside the test
tube.

Graph:
Discussions: The probable identity of unknown Z6K was determined to be ethanol from its
Experimental density of 0.7946 g/mL. This compares to the literature value of 0.789
g/mL (Laboratory Manual, Krystyna koczanski and James Xidos). The experimental
density differs very less from the literature value. It’s experimental value of boiling point
is 79 ? C which is almost same as literature value of ethanol (78.5 ? C) and confirms the
unknown Z6K to be ethanol (Laboratory Manual, Krystyna koczanski and James Xidos).
Ethanol is colorless, slightly viscous than water and has identical odor. Observations of
unknown Z6K are consistent with the physical properties of ethanol.

The precision of the determined density was limited by the ability of the experimenter to
correctly fill the Graduated cylinder, volumetric pipette, burette, and measuring the mass
over the balance. The accuracy of glassware and balance is to 0.5 mL, 0.01 mL, 0.04 mL
and 0.0004 g respectively.
Sources of experimental error include:
Densities of liquid vary slightly with temperature. If the temperature in the lab was not 25°C,
the true values of the density of the unknown liquid may have differed from the literature
values for 25°C.
Few drops remain in burette while filling up the beaker.
Thermometer can touch the bottom of the beaker which can cause the error in reading.
Few drops could remain in volumetric pipette which causes error in Density.
The balance could give wrong reading as because of the disturbance due to other students over
the shelf on which the balance is placed on.
This lab could be improved by improving the method of drying the Graduated cylinder and beaker
before filling it with the unknown liquid. The glassware could be dried by small amount of acetone
could be used to rinse the flasks after washing. Any acetone remaining in the flask could be removed
by evaporation. Finally, the experimenter should remove droplets clinging to the neck or outside of the
flask by using a Kim Wipe.
Conclusion:
After careful consideration of all the test results and all the possible identities of the unknown, the
experimenters determined the unknown was, in fact, ethanol with density of 0.7946 g/mL and boiling
point of 79 ? C.
