Discussion:
The experiment is carried out to identify the most accurate apparatus among the
three apparatus chosen which are burette, measuring cylinder, and pipette. The
results shown that burette is the most accurate among the three apparatus because
it has density 99.23 g/mL with the percentage accuracy 99.23% of percentage error
0.77%. The percentage error can be reduced by making sure that there is no air
bubble at the end of the tip. By the way, when taking the measurement eyes must be
perpendicular to the meniscus level to avoid parallax error and the burette must be
rinsed with distilled water before be used.
The second accurate apparatus is pipette, it has the density 0.9880 g/mL with
percentage of accuracy 98.80% it has percentage error which is 1.2%. This error can
be reduced by taking the measurement where by the eyes is perpendicular to the
meniscus level. The water itself must has no impurities and the pipette must be
rinsed before be used.
Measuring cylinder is the least accurate as it has density of water 0.9157 g/mL with
percentage of accuracy 91.57%, it has percentage error of . this error is occurred as
there some water not transferred into the beaker from the measuring cylinder. It is
can be overcome by taking the measurement three times and calculated the
average.
