    2149 Words  | 5 Pages

    Investigating the Volume of an Open Box The aim of this coursework is to investigate the volume of an open box constructed by one piece of rectangular card that has all four corners having had squares cut out of them. Firstly I will be studying the volume whilst changing the side of one length of the cut out square and the size of the original rectangle card. After I have investigated this relationship I will try to find out the formula for finding the cut size to get the largest volume for any specified

  • Investigating the Effect of Temperature on the Volume of a Gas

    656 Words  | 2 Pages

    Investigating the Effect of Temperature on the Volume of a Gas Aim: To investigate the effect of temperature on the volume of a gas, given that the pressure acting on the gas is fixed. Hypothesis: According to CharlesÂ’s Law, the volume of a given amount of gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature when the pressure is constant. Thus, it is expected that as the temperature of the gas increases, its volume will increase also at a constant rate. When the temperature is increased

    1524 Words  | 4 Pages

    What is the effect on volume when water and isopropyl alcohol are mixed together? Project Design Plan When two substances are added together, their mass is Conserved. This is according to the Law of Conservation of Mass. Does the same apply to volume? Mark W. Meszaros, PhD claims that when isopropyl alcohol and water are mixed, the mass of the two is added, yet the volume decreases (Meszaros, M W., PhD, n.d.). Problem Statement: When adding two substances together, one would hypothesize the addition

  • Making an Object Buoyant by Adding Extra Volume to Displace the Water Necessary

    529 Words  | 2 Pages

    Extra Volume to Displace the Water Necessary Ships do not sink because of displacement; the ship moves more water than the ship actually weighs. Archimedes Principle: Any object wholly or partly immersed in a fluid is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. Density is mass of a unit volume of a material substance, expressed as kilograms per cubic meter in MKS or SI units. Density offers a convenient means of obtaining the mass of a body from its volume or

  • Cost Volume Profit Analysis

    1058 Words  | 3 Pages

    Cost volume profit (CVP) analysis and costing for the 21st century has evolved into a very complex and difficult paradigm. Even the most gifted accountants find that grasping the entire concept of accounting for a corporation can be very mind-boggling and difficult. Yet, understanding such a fundamental principle can allow corporations to grow in ways that other, less educated, corporations can never dream to achieve and simultaneously understand the ‘bottom-line’. In this paper we will discuss value

  • Accuracy And Measurements Lab Report

    548 Words  | 2 Pages

    two different sized cylinders. Accuracy is a measure of how close something is to its true value. To determine the accuracy we had to measure the volume and compare it to the theoretical volume, finding the relative error. Following this we used the density of water, 0.99720 g/mL, along with the mass we determined with a scale, to determine the volume of water in a 10 mL pipet using the formula D=mv. Objective: The purpose of this lab is to determine which cylinder, the 10mL or 100mL is will produce

  • Investigating the Rate of Reaction between Amylase and Starch

    1086 Words  | 3 Pages

    the volume of amylase affects the rate of reaction between amylase and starch. Prediction: I predict that the greater the volume of amylase then the faster the rate of reaction between the starch and amylase will be. I predict this because of the lock and key hypothesis. The lock and key hypothesis explains how the substrate molecule (the starch) fits inside the enzyme. The substrate molecule is then broken up into many smaller pieces. In this experiment the larger the volume of amylase

  • Finding the Concentration of Limewater in a Titration Using Hydrochloric

    1028 Words  | 3 Pages

    below this it shouldn't be a problem. Method: To perform the titration the first thing that needs to be done is to dilute the HCl to a suitable concentration, to increase the accuracy of the results it would be helpful if the volume of the alkali equalled the volume of the acid used. We know that the concentration of the alkali is close to 1g/dm‾, which is roughly equal to 0.013mol by using the equation Mass = Mole * RAM.

  • Investigating the Concentration of Citric Acid

    1229 Words  | 3 Pages

    determined that the best way to conduct this experiment is to do a titration. This will allow me to determine the amount of impure citric acid required to neutralise a known volume of 1.0 M sodium hydroxide. Consequently, by calculating the correct volume of pure citric acid that would be required to neutralise this volume of sodium hydroxide, I can calculate the percentage purity of the citric acid. Calculating the Amount of Citric Acid ------------------------------------- In order

  • Oil Glass Bottle Procedure

    573 Words  | 2 Pages

    the volume of the oil glass bottle you would need to find the volume of all three truncated cones and the volume of the half sphere and plus them all together. To find the volume of the truncated cones, you need to use the formula V = π [s (R + r) + R2 + r2], this will give you the volume for all the truncated cones. Also to find the volume of the half sphere is two-thirds times pi times radius3 (2/3 x π x r3). Once these volumes have been found and plus together, you would receive the volume of the

  • Measuring the Viscosity of a Liquid

    2322 Words  | 5 Pages

    Measuring the Viscosity of a Liquid Aim The aim of this experiment is to find out how fluid Bath Oils really are by measuring its viscosity. Plan The first thing that I'll do is to measure the spheres volume by first measuring its radius. I will then, by calculating the spheres mass, be able to calculate the density of the sphere. This will be used later when calculating the viscosity of the bath oil. I will then find the density of the bath oil, also used during calculations later

  • Measuring Using A Graduated Cylinder

    1459 Words  | 3 Pages

    INTRODUCTION Some Types of measurements include length, volume, mass and temperature. Length is the measurement or extent of something from end to end. Volume is the amount of space that a substance or object occupies, or that is enclosed within a container. Mass, is the quantity of matter that a body contains, as measured by its acceleration under a given force or by the force exerted on it by a gravitational force. Temperature, is the degree or intensity of a het present in a substance or object
