Title: Water and the aquatic environment

Aim: To determine the volume of one drop of water

Materials: Burette, Beaker, Water, Clamp Stand, Conical Flask.

Diagram: Insert diagram here

Method:
All materials were gathered.
The burette was filled on the clamp stand as shown in the diagram.
The correct method was used to grasp the stock-cock to allow the water to drip.
The number of drops of water taken to remove 10ml of water from the burette was counted.
All observations were recorded.

Observation
Table of results
Number of drops 168
Volume of water removed from burette 10ml
Volume of one drop of water Ml

Calculations
No. of drops = 168
Volume of water removed = 10ml
Volume of 1 drop of water = volume of water removed/no. of drops
= 0.0595238095 ml
Discussion: what is a burette use for?
A burette is a graduated glass tube with a stopcock at the bottom, used in laboratory settings for
precise measurement and dispensing of liquid volumes. It is vital in titrations, allowing
controlled delivery of a solution to achieve accurate chemical reactions and analyses.
Explain how the volume of 1 drop of water determined.
To determine the volume of one water, drop, measure a known water quantity precisely, use a
calibrated dropper or pipette to create uniform drops, count the drops, and calculate the average
volume per drop by dividing the total volume by the count.

Errors: when it was time to close the stop cock there was a 10 to 15 seconds of hesitation

Precautions: ensure the surface is level

Ensure the stop cock is closed when pouring water

Conclusion: In conclusion 1 drop of water is equal to 1ml
