    The purpose of the lab was to compare the densities and concentrations of NaCl solutions to find the concentration of two unknown solutions. Five known concentration solutions were made and their densities measured. A scatter plot was made comparing concentration and density, and a linear regression line was fitted. This line was used to calculate the concentrations of the two unknown solutions based on their densities. The r2 value of 0.9941 indicated the calculations had little error.

    The Relationship Between Density and Concentration - A Mathematical Model

    Olivia Solverson
    September 17, 2018
    Lab Partner: Owen Daugherty
    Purpose
    The purpose of this lab was to compare the densities and concentrations of five NaCl
    solutions and make a scatter plot with a best fit line of this relationship in order to find the
    concentrations of two NaCl solutions of unknown concentration, but known density.

    Procedure
    The materials were gathered. Ten milliliter solutions of 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, and 25%
    NaCl were made. One by one, the temperature in Celsius, mass in grams, and volume in
    milliliters (constant at ten milliliters) were measured, and the density in grams per milliliter was
    calculated. These statistics were also taken for two solutions of unknown NaCl concentration.
    The results were recorded. A scatter plot was constructed by comparing the concentrations and
    densities of the solutions of known concentration. A linear regression line was plotted and the
    equation of this line was used to find the concentrations of the unknown NaCl solutions using the
    densities.

    Experimental Data

    NaCl Temperature (°C) Mass (g) Volume (mL) Density (g/mL)


    Percentages by
    weight (%)

    5 23.80 10.55 10.00 1.055

    10 22.80 10.89 10.00 1.089

    15 32.30 11.08 10.00 1.108

    20 27.20 11.38 10.00 1.138

    25 29.50 11.69 10.00 1.169

    Unknown #1 24.90 10.78 10.00 1.078

    Unknown #2 23.70 11.29 10.00 1.129


    Calculations and Graphs

    Equation of linear regression line: y = .0055x + 1.029


    y is the density
    x is the percent NaCl
    Unknown solution 1: 8.909% NaCl
    Unknown solution 2: 18.18% NaCl

    Conclusion
    It was concluded from this experiment, using the line of regression plotted above, that the
    percent NaCl of the first unknown solution is 8.909, and that the percent NaCl of the second
    unknown solution is 18.18.

    Error Analysis
    The r2 value was .9941 for this experiment, so there was very little error in calculations.
    However, it is evident that minor error was present due to the y-intercept of 1.029 as opposed to
    1.000, the density of pure water (0% NaCl). It is possible that the salt was not completely
    dissolved, which affected measurements, or that the amount of salt used or total amount of
    solution made was not exact.
