Adjustable pipettes are calibrated according to their precision up to the capacity it is meant for (for example, 10 ul pipette, 25 ul pipette, etc.). Hence, a precision balance can't be used to calibrate the adjustable pipettes.
If you want to weigh water on a precision balance, you need a secondary container for holding liquids like water. Since you want to weight a micro amount of water, such as 2.5 ul, the balanced will show too much error (fluctuate too much) so that you can't guarantee the weight you have measured.
Hence, you need to use micropipettes, that too with suitable capacity to measure a certain micro quantity of liquids.
why can’t a precision balance be used to calibrate the adjustable pipettes. What will happen if...
Which one of the following is the most important reason to calibrate equipment used for measurements? Select one: a. It will increase the range of the measurement. b. It will decrease the percent error of the measurement c. It will decrease the range of the measurement. d. It will increase the percent error of the measurement. Which of the following types of equipment may need to be calibrated? Select one: a. analytical balances O b. gasoline pumps O c. fitness...
2. Now, consider the smallest single precision floating point number, 21". What wll happen the "gap" at that number if you change the type to double precision? DO NOT discuss the smallest double precision number -just the largest single precision represented as a double type.
Why is ice-cold water needed to rinse the aspirin product? What will happen if warm water was used?
I don't know why the last two are wrong. To calibrate your calorimeter cup, you first put 47 mL of cold water in the cup, and measure its temperature to be 25.9 °C. You then pour 49 mL of hot water, temperature = 49.9 °C, into the cup and measure the temperature every thirty seconds over a 10 minute period. You extrapolate this "cooling curve" back to the time of addition and find that the "final temperature" after mixing is...
3. Explain why it is necessary to calibrate the spectroscope, and briefly outline the procedure that you will use to do this. An example of a calibration process is the following: Thermocouples can be used to measure temperature when it is not practical to do so with a thermometer. Thermocouples measure temperature in terms of voltage, rather than directly on a temperature scale and therefore need to be calibrated. Comparing the thermocouple output with the reading from a highly accurate...
What would happen if a gram-positive bacterium was placed in very salty water? Why?
What was the flint water crisis, why did it happen and how could it have been prevented?
What would happen if a large amount of ice were used with a small amount of water and vice versa?
1. What was the sodium sulfite used for the experiment below? 2. What material could still be in the ether layer of the experiment below? To a 3.0 mL conical vial containing a spin vane and equipped with an air condenser, add 20 uL of acetophenone and 700 uL of household bleach ( NaOCl, 5% available). Dispense both reagents in the hood! Stir the mixture at room temperature for thirty minutes. Add approximately 5.0 mg of sodium sulfite and stir...
Why does the bootstrap method require sampling with replacement? What would happen if bootstrap resampling was used, but the samples were without replacement?
