Experiment 1 LABORATORY TOOLS THE BALANCE,
GRADUATED CYLINDER, BURET, AND BUNSEN BURNER

• To have direct experience using these equipments.
• To develop basic skills in making measurements.
• To learn much more than the operational aspects
  of these devices.
• To learn how to record data as it is observed.

Digital Balance

• Do not place heavy item(s) (heavier than the
  balance can measure) on the balances.
• Zero the balance using the tare (zero) function.

Procedure

• Follow the directions on the report sheet.
• Record data and illustrate necessary calculations
  in the space provided below each directive.
  Clearly label data and include units.
• Record all displayed digits on the electronic
  balance.
• Use the same balance for all weights in an
  experiment.
• Read and record liquid levels in the burettes to
  the hundredths place (estimated digit).
• Some beakers will be used more than once. If
  necessary, rinse and dry them between uses.
• Answer questions as you go along.
• Tear and submit the Work Sheets before you leave
  the lab.
