Title Calibration of Volumetrik Glassware

This document outlines objectives and procedures for calibrating various volumetric glassware, including a 10mL pipette, 25mL pipette, 100mL volumetric flask, and 50mL measuring cylinder. The calibration process involves weighing water delivered by or contained in the glassware to determine the actual volume and ensure accuracy. Standard deviation is also calculated from repetitive measurements to establish precision.

 Lastly, to calibrate a 50mL measuring cylinder

INTRODUCTION

Calibration of an instrument is the process of determining its accuracy . The


process involves obtaining a reading from the instrument and measuring its variation
from the reading obtained from a standard instrument. Calibration of an instrument
also involves adjusting its precision and accuracy so that its reading s come in
accordance with the established standard.

There were actually three main reasons for having glassware calibrated. One of
them was to ensure readings from the glassware was consistent with other
measurements. Next, it was to determine the accuracy of the glassware readings. Last
but not least was to establish the reliability of the instrument so it can be trusted.

This experiment also had a purpose to calibrate volumetric glassware to get the
greatest accuracy. Accuracy which means how close the reading of measurement to the
true value.TD which is meant “to deliver ‘ and TC for ‘to contain’ was marked at
volumetric glassware and also with the temperature at which the calibration applies. It
is a vital that the volumetric glassware should had been calibrated as to measure the
volume that is actually contained in or delivered by a particular piece of glassware.

This calibration can be done by measuring the mass of water contained in or


delivered by the glassware. To convert the mass into the volume, the density of water at
a particular temperature is being used. The following equation was being used to
convert mass to volume

True(actual)Volume=(grams of water) x (volume of 1 g og H20 in Table 4.1)

In addition, standard deviation was also been recorded in this experiment. This
standard deviation value actually represents the average distance of a set of scores from
the mean. It was a statistical measure of the precision for a series of repetitive
measurements. The following standard deviation, s, is the positive square root of the
sample variance.

This calibration also aids to avoid parallax errors in order to get the greatest
accuracy. Meanwhiles pipettes and burettes were calibrated to deliver specific volumes
while volumetric flasks were calibrated on a to contain basis.

Plus, the procedure of this experiment was repeated another 2 times in order to get
the average reading of volume(mL). It was being used in the calculations later on.

MATERIALS

Equipments that were being used in this experiment are a 100mL volumetric flask (,
a 50mL measuring cylinder , a 10mL pipet and a 25ml pipet. Other than that were,
thermometer, a dropper, a beaker, an electronic balance, and distilled water.

PROCEDURE

CALIBRATION OF A VOLUMETRIC PIPETTE (10 ML AND 25ML)

1. First of all, weigh an empty weighing bottle to the nearest milligram and wrote
the readings down in the results.
2. Fill up the weighing bottle about 50 ml and then fill the pipette to the mark with
that distilled water
3. Drain the water by gravity which is by removing the pipette pump into the
weighing bottle and cap the bottle to prevent evaporation.
4. Next, weigh the bottle again to find out the mass of water delivered from the
pipette and wrote it down the reading.
5. Last but not least, to find the actual volume use the following equation

True(actual)Volume=(grams of water) x (volume of 1 g og H20 in Table 4.1)


6. Repeat the procedure above another 2 times and also perform the same
procedure on both of the pipette which is one 25mL while the another one is
10mL
