Introduction Standard solutions are important so that we have a known standard to compare things. The purpose of the activity was to make standard 1% solution of glucose in water, and to use this as a control solution. This particular solution of glucose was going to be made using 1g of glucose and 100ml of water thus making the percentage of glucose 1%. Materials * Bunsen burner * Test tube * Squeezy bottle * Glucose crystals * Measuring boat * 100ml conical flask * Benedict's solution * Tripod * Beaker * Top pan balance (an electronic scale used to measure very light weights) Method After collecting all the apparatus, I was ready to conduct my experiment. First of all, I was to place the weighing boat on the top pan balance and set the balance 0. Next I was to place the glucose crystals onto the top pan balance. By carefully adding the glucose crystals, I eventually managed to...
