Which glass container was used in the experiment to heat the water bath?

Question illustration
A
test tube
B
volumetric flask
C
Erlenmeyer flask
D
beaker
7

Which are ways to ensure that temperature readings are accurate? Check all that apply.

A
shaking the thermometer before use
B
using the thermometer as a stirring rod
C
making sure the liquid inside the thermometer is at eye level when taking the temperature
D
making sure the bulb of the thermometer does not touch the bottom of the beaker or the ice when taking the temperature
E
using the Celsius scale instead of the Fahrenheit scale when taking temperature readings
10

What is missing from the temperature and volume graph shown at right?

Answer:

The graph is missing a descriptive title (such as 'Temperature vs. Volume'), a label for the vertical axis (Volume in cm³), and specific units for the horizontal axis (Temperature in °C or K).

11

Check all items below that you mentioned were missing.

A
a graph title, “Temperature vs. Volume”
B
a label for the vertical axis, “Volume (cm³)”
C
units for the horizontal axis
13

Check all causes below that you mentioned.

A
The capillary tube was too close to the bottom of the beaker.
B
The ruler may have moved.
C
Water got into the capillary tube.
D
The temperature was not allowed to equilibrate in the 2-4 minutes.
14

Check all statements below that are true.

A
Heating air under the balloon will cause the air inside to expand.
B
The air inside will have the same mass but more volume.
C
Heating the air under the balloon will cause the entire balloon to rise.
D
The outside temperature will have no affect on the height of the balloon.
E
The only way to make the balloon sink is to let out the air.
15

Which is the best reason for choosing the beaker for heating the solution?

A
The beaker is the only container that can withstand high temperatures.
B
The beaker's wide mouth allows the thermometer to rest against the side.
C
The beaker will not tip over when placed on the hot plate.
D
The beaker is unbreakable.
17

What might the student have done that caused this error? List all possible causes.

Answer:

Several factors could have caused error in the Charles's Law lab. The capillary tube might have been positioned too close to the bottom of the beaker, leading to uneven heating. The ruler could have shifted during measurements, resulting in inaccurate height readings. Water might have entered the capillary tube, changing the volume of the gas. Additionally, the system might not have been allowed to reach thermal equilibrium for the required 2-4 minutes before recording data.
