A pipet delievers 9.98g of water at 20 degrees celsius What volume does the pipet deliver?

10.0cm^3


What is direct calibration?

volume of water delivered by a buret or pipet, or contained in a volumetric flask, is obtained directly from weight of the water and its density


When using a pipet can you state the volume of the aliquot without calculating it?

Yes, cause an aliquot is a small volume of something and I believe in this experiment you are also using a volumetric pipet, which should give you the exact volume of the aliquot.


What is its meaning regarding the volume of liquid a pipet delivers?

A graduated pipette can deliver an exact volume of liquid.


Suppose that after delivery several drops of the water cling to the inner wall of the pipet because the pipet wall is dirty How does this technique error affect the reported density of the solid?

If water droplets stick to the inside of the pipet it will cause the volume of the water to be a lower value then what the pipet is calibrated to therefore the density of the water will be higher. It will affect it, because the mass that you are weighting will be greater than it should be, and this will give you a greater density.


How do you calibrate a pipet?

A pipet is calibrated by pouring a liquid of known volume into it and taking the reading in order to determine by how much it might be deviating. This technique is regarded as a quantitative method.


What do you use to measure a milliter?

A millilitre is a volume of 1 cm3. You can measure this quantity of volume by a measuring tube, burette or pipet tube.


How do you clean your pipet?

Fill a mug or a container with warm tap water. You are using warm tap water because, tap water contains microorganisms which will help flush out the chemicals and it is warm ,because warm water can cleanly stabilize your pipet so it is ready for it's next use. Pinch your pipet inside the water so it fills up to about 15-20 milliliters. Squirt in in the sink. Do the same thing for a few times. Atleast 5 times. Now your pipet is clean and ready for its next use.Why is it important to clean your pipet? It can contain chemicals from your previous experiment which will give inaccurate or wrong results and data.


Can water displacement find the volume of substances?

Water displacement can accurately find the volume of substances as it represents the same amount of space or volume. An object placed into the water will displace the same amount of water volume as its own volume.


What is the main advantage of using pipette in measuring the volume of liquid?

The main disadvantage of using a pipet in measuring the volume of a liquid is that you cannot dispense large quantities.


How would the accuracy of your determined Keq change if all your volume measurements were made with?

If all volume measurements were taken with a graduated cylinder instead of a pipet, the measurements would not be accurate. If something requires a pipet to be measured, it is a very small amount and a graduated cylinder would not be the proper measurement device.


What measurements must you make to find density of a sample of matter?

density = mass / volume. so you need to weigh to find the mass. To find the volume submerse in water and record the displacement of water to find the volume.
