Conclusion:
In conclusion, we demonstrated that a linear relationship exists between the density and
concentration of sodium chloride solutions, and that the relationship can be used to make
predictions about the properties of solutions of unknown concentration.
Discussion Theory:
As the concentration of a solution increases, the density of the solution increases in linear
fashion. Our data supports this concept, within reasonable margins of error. The purpose of the
lab was fulfilled when we were able to use the mathematical model for this linear relationship to
predict the concentration of solutions of unknown concentration based on their densities.
Error Analysis:
We failed to take into account the mass of the graduated cylinder when finding the mass of the
solutions. As a result, the mass of each solution was too high, and the resulting density was also
too large. Also the solutions were left out overnight causing the water to evaporate and making
the solutions more concentrated.
