how to suggests reason for low or high accuracy for different pieces of glassware
Suggest reasons for the low or high precision for the different pieces of glassware.
Briefly state the advantages and disadvantages for each piece of glassware.
The first column of numbers is experimental volume, then the second is 100mL Beaker third is 50mL graduated Cylinder, fourth is 50mL Buret and final column of numbers is 20mL pipet.
"True" Volumes
100mL 50mL 50mL 20mL
Beaker Graduated Buret Pipet
Cylinder Experimental: 20 20.0 20.00 20.00 Volume
Explanation / Answer
With the larger glassware, your measurements will be less precise and less accurate because you have more room for error. The more defined the glassware gets, the more precise and accurate the readings will get. As far as precision, your measurements will be closer together. The accuracy will also get more accurate becuase the glassware has a more defined way to measure liquids.
The dissadvantages for the bigger glasswares are that they are not as accurate or precise. One advantage is that it can quickly measure out large volumes if personal error is not a factor. Vice Versa for the smaller instruments. Hope this helps!
