Calculations

1. Show all density calculations.
Density : Mass / Volume
9.9522 / 10.00 = 0.9952 g/ml
10.1291 / 10.00 = 1.013 g/ml
10.5233 / 10.00 = 1.052 g/ml
10.7487 / 10.00 = 1.075 g/ml
11.0297 / 10.00 = 1.103 g/ml
10.6234 / 10.00 = 1.062 g/ml

2. Be sure to include the Excel graph you have created from your data. Using the density of the unknown, determine the percentage of the unknown solution by using the trendline formula. Determine if there is a positive linear correlation.

Unknown = 10.13 % NaCl by mass

Correlation coefficient = 0.9902 therefore

3. Use Excel to produce a graph showing the relationship between concentration and density of the known salt solutions using class average information in Table 5. Is there a significant linear correlation? How do you know?
There is a relationship between concentration and density of the known salt solutions because when a lineair line is drawn, it fits the points very well. The correlationcoefficient is a number that gives us information about the relationship between variables. The number variates between -1 and +1. How closer the -1 or +1, the better the relationship is between the variables. Because our correlationcoefficient is very close to +1, there can be concluded that how

    All work for the LLS calculation must be shown in a separate table in the Sample Calculations section. Concentration of chloride in the 250 mL celery salt mixture in moles per liter and in ppm chloride. Calculation of the wt% NaCl in the solid celery salt. IV. Data and Results: The report must include two graphs (a calibration plot and a standard additions plot) and the data tables for each. (Note: These are not the same as the LLS tables, which belong in the Sample Calculations section.) Use graph paper ruled 10 sq/cm. Note that section C-2 on page 69 of the laboratory manual gives instructions for preparation of a table to aid in data analysis. As usual, in the report other necessary raw data (e.g., concentration of KCl, unknown weight and volume, temperature, etc.) and final calculated values (e.g., equation of the line, [Cl-] in the unknown, etc.) should appear in the table. The equation for each line should appear on the corresponding graph, and the limit of detection (in concentration units, not log [Cl-]) should be indicated on the calibration plot. Note that the number of significant figures in the concentration (number of decimal places in log C) changes as C increases. To make the graphing uniform use three places in all log C axis labels. Conclusion: State your results: wt% Cl- in the solid unknown; wt% NaCl in the celery salt. Then discuss any problems and notable sources of error pertinent to your results. Also, give a complete…

    The purpose of this lab was to determine the percentage of chloride in an unknown soluble salt sample through a gravimetric method known as precipitation gravimetry. The objective was to accurately and precisely convert the unknown sample containing the chloride analyte to another known solid, silver chloride. Once the mass of the known solid is measured, the percentage of chloride analyte can be calculated using stoichiometry.…
