Precautions in Using an Analytical Balance
1. Center the load on the pan.
2. Protect the balance from corrosion.
3. Observe special precautions (Section 2E-6) for the weighing of liquids.
4. Consult the instructor if the balance appears to need adjustment.
5. Keep the balance and its case scrupulously clean.
6. Allow an object return to room temperature before weighing it.
7. Use longs or finger pads.
2D-4 Sources of Error in Weighing
Correction for Buoyancy
5
buoyancy error : weighing error that develops when the object being weighed has a
significantly different density than the weights.
W1: the corrected mass of the object
W2: the mass of the standard weights
dobj: the density of the object
dwts: the density of the weights
dair: the density of the air displaced
by them; 0.0012 g-cm-3

Density of object, g/L
Ex. 2-1
A bottle weighed 7.6500 g empty and 9.9700 g after introduction of an organic
liquid with a density of 0.92 g-cm-3. The balance was equipped with stainless steel
weights (d = 8.0 g-cm-3). Correct the mass of the sample for the effects of
buoyancy.
mass of the liquid = 9.9700 - 7.6500 = 2.3200 g.
W1 = 2.3200 + 2.3200(
0.0012 0.0012
−
) = 2.3227 g
0.92
8.0
Temperature Effects
1. a buoyant effect on the pan and object
2. warm air trapped in a closed container weighs less than the same volume at a
lower temperature.
Both effects cause the apparent mass of the object to be low.
Allow heated objects to return to room temperature before being weighed.

2E Equipment and Manipulations Associated with Weighing
Drying or ignition to constant mass is a process in which a solid is cycled through
heating, cooling, and weighing steps until its mass becomes constant to
within 0.2 to 0.3 mg.

It is seldom necessary to dry volumetric ware.
Avoiding Parallax
Parallax is the apparent displacement of a liquid level or of a pointer as an
observer changes position. Parallax occurs when an object is viewed from a
position that is not at a right angle to the object.
A meniscus is the curved surface of a liquid at its interface with the
atmosphere.

position 2, it appears larger.
2G-5 Directions for Using a Pipet
Never use your mouth to draw liquid into a pipet because of the possibility of
accidentally ingesting the liquid being pipetted.
Cleaning
Measuring an Aliquot
The small volume remaining inside the tip of a volumetric pipet should not be blown
or rinsed into the receiving vessel.

2. Lubrication of a Glass Stopcock

4. Titration
Buret readings should be estimated to the nearest 0.01

At 25 °C: V = 24.976 g × 1.0040 mL/g = 25.08 mL
At 20 °C: V = 24.976 g × 1.0037 mL/g = 25.07 mL
