Carry out research and report findings of how to best carry out a practical measuring production of a gas. You will need to bring your report and practical method to your Core Practical 1 Laboratory session so that you can follow it.
1. Carry out & report suitable research into the techniques you could use. Include neat pencil drawn diagrams.
2. Write a comparison of the techniques including an evaluation of accuracy of results expected from each technique.
CPAC 5a - Uses appropriate software and/or tools to process data, carry out research and report findings.
Carry out suitable research to support your planning into how to measure the rate of gas production
Write up a method in your own words specifying how to achieve accurate results by collecting quantitative data
Use research to support choices of equipment and planning by citing in the text
3. Updated the provided practical method by making improvements based on your research - so that the technique described will provide the best quantitative analysis & achieve accurate results.
CPAC 2d - Selects appropriate equipment and measurement strategies in order to ensure suitably accurate results.
Carry out research & write up a plan / practical to accurately measure gas volume
Plan and write up a detailed method in your own words to collect quantitative data (before the practical) that describes how you will obtain accurate results.
Ensure your plan describes how the dependent variables will be measured accurately
boiling tube ● stand and clamp ● bung fitted with delivery tube to fit boiling tube ● water bath for gas collection ● 100 cm3 measuring cylinder ● 50 cm3 measuring cylinder ● test tube ● mass balance (2 d.p.) ● 1 mol dm−3 ethanoic acid ● Powdered calcium carbonate
4. Cite in text
5. Write bibliography
CPAC 5b - Sources of information are cited demonstrating that research has taken place, supporting planning and conclusions.
Cite references in text using numbers or letters as necessary.
Use research to support choices of equipment and planning
Compile a bibliography of texts from which material has been sourced in such a way that the reader may retrieve the information easily.
