Flasks Lab
As our first lab of the year, the mission was to find the relationship of the height of water being added to a flask over time (height v. time). Since we cannot control the rate of water coming out of faucet, we just added 20mL of water to the flask to represent every second to make sure that the rate would not be an issue (however, errors do occur later on). WHAT WE LEARNED AND WHAT HAPPENED *if the flask is 500mL, we expect to pour 20mL of water 25 times. By the 25th pour, if the flask is not completely filled or it is overfilled, that can be an indication that there was errors when adding the water. *It is difficult measuring 20mL of water each time because during those 25 times, each pour could have been off from the 20mL = opportunity for error. *Measuring the height was a challenge itself. Since the flask is not straight but is curved, measuring the vertical height of the water with a ruler is difficult. Some ways to measure could have been sticking the ruler in the flask
