front 1 How is the pressure inside the test tube measured when the liquid reaches its boiling point? | back 1 The pressure in the test tube is the same as the barometric pressure in the room. |
front 2 What unit should be found for the temperature? | back 2 Kelvin |
front 3 During this experiment, it is necessary to solve for P2 in the Clausius-Clapeyron equation: ln(P2/P1) = ( delta H/R)[(1/T2)-(1/T1)]. Since the right hand side of the equation is able to be determined as a real number (we'll call "z"), the exercise becomes an algebraic problem of this form: ln(a/b) = z Screen reader note: ln left parenthesis a over b right parenthesis = z. End of note Which formula allows for you to solve for the quantity "a"? HINT: See http://www.sosmath.com/algebra/logs/log4/log47/log47.html for a review of solving logarithmic equations. | back 3 a = bez or a = b times e to the power of z |
front 4 Where does the tip of the thermometer need to be when measuring the boiling point of the unknown liquid? | back 4 About half an inch above the level of the liquid. |
front 5 Five points are plotted on a graph. They are, roughly, in a straight line. How should the slope of the line of best fit be calculated? | back 5 Find two points that lie on the line of best fit, that are not data points, and calculate the slope using those points. |
