Question

3.accuracy is gauged by comparing the measured value of a known standard to its true value. assuming the mass of the water represents a standard for the true volume of water, which piece of glassware has the highest degree of accuracy

Answer 1

The glassware with the highest degree of accuracy is 250 mL beaker.

What is accuracy?

When in an experiment, a value is measured 5 times, then if the values measured are same for most of the time or like three times out of five, it said to be accurate. The phenomenon is accuracy.

Accuracy compares the experimental value to the theoretical value.

Accepted density of water = 0.99 g/mL

1. 10 mL cylinder

Mass of water = 6.76 g

Volume of water = 6.8 mL

Density = mass /Volume

density = 6.76/6.8 = 0.99412 g/mL

Percentage error = [Observed value - Accepted value/ Accepted value ] x 100

% error = [0.99412 - 0.99 / 0.99 ] x 100

% error = 0.416 %

2. 50 mL cylinder

Mass of water = 24 g

Volume of water = 24.2 mL

density = 24/24.2 = 0.9917 g/mL

Percentage error = [Observed value - Accepted value/ Accepted value ] x 100

% error = [0.9917 - 0.99 / 0.99 ] x 100

% error = 0.172 %

3. 25 mL cylinder

Mass of water = 17 g

Volume of water = 17.1 mL

density = 17/17.1 = 0.99415 g/mL

Percentage error = [Observed value - Accepted value/ Accepted value ] x 100

% error = [0.99415 - 0.99 / 0.99 ] x 100

% error = 0.419 %

4. 250 mL beaker

Mass of water = 35 g

Volume of water = 35.3 mL

density = 35/35.3 = 0.9915 g/mL

Percentage error = [Observed value - Accepted value/ Accepted value ] x 100

% error = [0.9915 - 0.99 / 0.99 ] x 100

% error = 0.152 %

Lesser the percentage error, higher is the accuracy.

Thus, 250 mL beaker has the highest degree of accuracy.
