Question | Answer |
---|---|
Aim of this experiment | To determine the standard potentials of 4 unknown metals (X,Y,Z) in reference to a copper electrode. |
Write a risk assessment for the experiment | When placing the electrode in the beaker of solution, splashes may occur. Some chemicals are corrosive and can cause serious chemical burns to the eye. Make sure safety glasses are worn at all times to avoid this incident |
Write a method for the experiment | see notes |
Draw the appropriate tables for the results to be placed in | see notes |
Draw a diagram of the setting of the apparatus make sure you label this clearly | see notes |
What is a factor relating to accuracy in an experiement? | the precision of the measuring apparatus |
What is a factor relating to reliabilty in an experiment | repeating the experiment and making sure that all the repeated results are consistent |
What are two factors that relate to validity in an experiment | testing what you say that you are testing all the variables are kept constant |
Write a way to improve the reliabilty of this particular experiment | Reliability can be improved by repeating the experiment 4 times with each metal (X,Y,Z) with the experiementer making sure that the results are similar from each previous result. This ensures that the information recorded is trustworthy. |
