Your professor has recruited you to work in her lab to help her win the Nobel Prize. It is critical that your work be as accurate as possible. Rather than using the stated volumes of glassware in the lab, you decide to calibrate each piece. An empty 10-mL volumetric flask weighed 10.263 4 g. When filled to the mark with distilled water at 208C, it weighed 20.214 4 g. What is the true volume of the flask?

- Pressurized eyes Our eyes need a certain amount of internal pressure in order to work properly, with the normal range being between 10 and 20 mm of mercury. The pressure is determined by a balance between the fluid entering and leaving the eye. If the pressure is above the normal level, damage may occur to the optic nerve where it leaves the eye, leading to a loss of the visual field termed glaucoma. Measurement of the pressure within the eye can be done by several different noninvasive types of instruments, all of which measure the slight deformation of the eyeball when a force is put on it. Some methods use a physical probe that makes contact with the front of the eye, applies a known force, and measures the deformation. One non-contact method uses a calibrated “puff” of air that is blown against the eye. The stagnation pressure resulting from the air blowing against the eyeball causes a slight deformation, the magnitude of which is correlated with the pressure within the eyeball.…arrow_forward16000 1.440 14000 1.435 12000 1.430 10000 1.425 8000 1.420 6000 1.415 4000 1.410 2000 1.405 1.400 45 15 20 25 30 35 40 Temperature ["C] +dynamic viscosity (mPas] + density (gicm") Figure 1 (a) As shown in Figure 1, viscosity and density of honey was found to decrease with increase in temperature.

- A chamber of unknown volume is filled with an unknown amount of ideal gas. A cylinder with an open bottom and calibrated volume is connected to the chamber and is closed with a movable piston. A gas pressure sensor is also mounted on the chamber as shown in the figure. The whole experimental setup is kept at a constant temperature of 300 K. Doris moves the piston from mark 0 to mark 200 mL in steps of 50 mL and records the corresponding pressure in the chamber (see the table below). She moves the piston very slowly and waits several minutes before recording the pressure values.

Which statement below is true about these liquids based only on the data in the table? O The intermolecular forces in liquid X are stronger than those in liquid Y. The boiling point of liquid X is higher than the boiling point of liquid Y. The viscosity of liquid X is greater than the viscosity of liquid Y. The surface tension of liquid X is greater than the surface tension of liquid Y. The viscosity of liquid X is less than the viscosity of liquid Y. 3.arrow_forwardWe wish to measure a characteristic of a machined part whose nominal size is 50 mm at 20 °C. For this, two different instruments are used; an analog micrometer and a digital vernier caliper, both recently calibrated and with the same resolution (0.01 mm). The calibration certificate data of the analog micrometer and the digital vernier are shown in tables 5 and 6 respectively. In both cases the calibration uncertainty does not include the contribution of resolution uncertainty. Additionally, there are drift studies for both instruments and it is established that the drift of the micrometer is ± 0.002 mm while the drift of the vernier is ± 0.02 mm. The same number of measurements were performed with both instruments to avoid repeatability biases under controlled environmental conditions. Table 7 shows the results of the measurements of both instruments. The temperature of the piece was monitored with a digital thermometer whose calibration uncertainty is 0.1 °C, which already includes…arrow_forward
- When fluid flows over a surface, the Reynolds number will output whether the flow is laminar (smooth), transitional, or turbulent. Determine the dimension for the Reynolds number using the SI. The Reynolds number is expressed as pVD R = where p is the density of the fluid, V is the free stream fluid velocity, Dis the characteristic length of the surface, and u is the fluid viscosity. The units of fluid viscosity are kg/(m - s). O a.s1 O b. m O c. m/s O d.

The balance is used to measure the mass of the stone, while the beaker is used to measure the volume of the stone. It is known that the digital balance has a resolution of 0.1 g and that the beaker cup has a resolution of 5 ml. Repeated mass measurements return the following values: 250.0 g; 249.9 g; 250.3 g; 249.6g; 250.1 g; 249.7g; 250.4 g; 250.0 g; 248.8 g; 250.2 g The volume is measured only once. Placing the stone in the beaker, a volume of displaced water equal to 50 ml is measured. Using a k=2.5, check if the density of the stone is compatible or out of line with the value ρ = (4910 ± 65) kg.m-3 (a) none of the above (b) the values are compatible (c) missing data to perform the compatibility test (d) the values are discrepantarrow_forward
