 Objectives:  To  be  able  to  measure  the  density  of  various  solutions  by  the  changes  in  volumes  
[of  1-­‐propanol]  with  varying  concentrations  using  a  pycnometer
...
 Introduction:  Partial  molar  volume  is  the  contribution  that  a  component  of  a  mixture  makes  
to  the  overall  volume  of  the  solution
...
   
           V1  =  (∂V/  ∂n)pT        or        V  =  n1V1+n2V2+n3V3…nkVk  (for  binary  solutions)  
 
A  pycnometer  or  a  specific  gravity  bottle  is  a  flask  with  a  stopper  that  has  a  capillary  
tube  that  allows  air  bubbles  to  escape  and  it’s  used  to  obtain  accurate  measurements  of  density

 Materials                                Chemical  Properties    
 
Safety  Precautions  
1)  1-­‐propanol                        -­‐  colorless  liquid                                                  -­‐  Flush  skin  and  eyes  with  plenty  water  
(CH3CH2CH2OH)              -­‐BP:  97
...
6oC                            -­‐  Remove  to  fresh  air
...
1g/mole                            -­‐Flammable  
2)  water    (H2O)                -­‐BP:  100oC;  colorless  liquid  
                                                                         -­‐  weight:  18
...
 Procedure  
A
...
Carefully  clean  the  glassware  with  soap  and  water  and  then    rinse  with  a  small  amount  
of  acetone  as  described  above
...
Weigh  the  dry  flask  and  stopper  on  the  analytical  balance  in  the  balance  room
...
Determine  the  exact  volume  of  your  pycnometer  by  filling  it  fully  with  water,  inserting  
the  stopper,  and  tapping  the  sides  gently  to  remove  the  air  bubbles
...
Dry  the  sides  and  weigh  the  full  pycnometer  on  the  analytical  balance
...
 Use  the  known  density  of  water  located  in  the  CRC  handbook  
to  determine  the  volume  of  water  contained  in  the  full  pycnometer  flask
...
Be  certain  to  use  the  known  density  value  at  the  correct  temperature
...
Do  the  same  for  the  procedure  in  the  liquid  unknown
...

...
 (since  density  
varies  with  temperature)  (use  temperature  from  the  literature  data)  
2)  Do  2  trials  for  at  least  5  compositions  (5  different  concentrations  of  your  aqueous  solution)
