ABSTARCT
This experiment is to determine the new calibration mark of the volumetric flask. Firstly,
we will start equilibrating distilled water in 200 mL beaker for about 15 minutes in room
temperature. Continue with mark a clean and dry volumetric flask using a 2 cm sticker
and determined the weight of the volumetric flask. The, after 15 minutes, the
temperature of distilled water and the room temperature being measured. The
equilibrated distilled water filled in the dry and clean volumetric flask and the weight of
the volumetric flask being measured again. The weight of the volumetric flask converted
into volume from the data provided. The volume of distilled water added (5mm) if the
volume less than 100 mL and were reduce 5 mm is more than 100 mL. After added or
reduce the distilled water, the weight of volumetric flask was measured again. The exact
distance for new mark were determined so the volume of the volumetric flask is
accurate.
OBJECTIVES
1. To calibrate a Used Volumetric Flask
2. To determine the New Calibration Mark of the Volumetric Flask
INTRODUCTION
Any of 100 mL volumetric flask tolerance is 0.1± mL. calibration of the flask is important
to determined an accurated volume of the flask. Volumetric flask usually calibrated by
measuring the mass and the volume of the flask. The weight of the volumetric flask
should be correct because the density of the water is different from th standard weight
of analytical balance. The calculation for calibrating involved such as weigh th flask,
convert the mass of flask to volume by dividing the density of liquid in the flask and
finally the volume is corrected to the standard temperature.
METHOD
Firstly, the experiment start with prepare a 200 mL distilled water were placed in the
clean anddry beaker and let stand in room temperature for 15 minutes.
Next step is a dry clean 100 mL volumetric flask were weigh accurately with 2 cm
sticker at the centre of the flask. After 15 minutes, the temperature of room temperature
and the temperature of water were measured.
The flask were filled with distiled water up to the mark. The flask were weigh again and
the weight of water in the flask converted using the data on the table provided.
The water were added/ reduce 5 mm from the original vlume and the water were weigh
again.Lastly,The exact distance of the new mark determined using the ratio and the
volume of water.
DATA
TEMPERATURE OF EQUILIBRATED WATER: 28.0 °C

WEIGH OF DRY 100 mL VOLUMETRIC FLASK: 55.1146 g
WEIGH OF VOLUMETRIC FLASK + DISTILLED WATER (100 mL): 154.5967 g
WEIGH OF VOLUMETRIC FLASK + DISTILLED WATER (5 cm): 154.9138 g
CALCULATIONS
At 28.0 °C = 1.0046 mL
Density of water = 1 g/1.0043 mL

= 0.9957 g/mL
Mass of H2O, g = (154.5967 – 55.1146) g

= 99.4821 g
Volume of water, V = 99.4821 x 1.0046 mL

= 99.9397 mL
Mass water after addition 5 mL water above the mark.

= (154.9138 – 55.1146) g
=99.7992g
Volume, V = 99.7992 g/1.0046
= 100.2583 mL
Volume, V of 5mm H2O = (100.2583 – 99.93972) mL

= 0.31858 mL
5 mm = 0.31858 mL
x mm = 0.0603mL
x mm = 0.0603mm
DISCUSSION
For this experiment, we need to calibrate the volumetric flask and the following data
were obtained:
Temperature of the room : 28⁰C
Temperature of equilibrated water : 28⁰C
Weight of dry 100 mL volumetric flask : 55.1146 g
Weight of volumetric flask + H2O (at current 100 mL mark) : 154.5967 g
Weight of volumetric flask + H2O (at 5 mm mark) : 154.9138 g
From the results, the density of water is 0.9957 g/mL and we had calculated the volume
of water which was 99.9397 mL. Then, for the mass of water after addition51 mm of
water above the mark was 1.3153g. From the mass, the volume of water after had been
calculated was 0.31858 mL. Finally, the exact distance for the new mark was
determined by the ratio of volume and distance which was 0.0603mm.
For the precautions, the volumetric flask must be weighed with same analytical balance
to avoid the error in reading. The mark also must be made accurately to avoid
systematic error.
There might be some errors will occur when conducting this experiment. Firstly, the
change in lab temperature will change the calibration of a balance or the volume of
volumetric flask. There are many other sources of random uncertainty in the calibration
process such as the purity of the water used which changes its density.
CONCLUSION
For the conclusion, the exact distance for the new calibration mark was determined by
the ratio of volume and distance which was 0.0603 mm.
