Determination of the relative atomic mass of lithium Introduction: In this experiment the relative atomic mass of lithium will be determined by two different methods: 1) By measuring the volume of hydrogen produced 2) By titrating the lithium hydroxide produced First thoughts: I will follow the plan with careful consideration of accuracy, sensitivity of equipment and reliability of results. I will ensure that the correct formulae are used to determine the relative atomic mass and will conclude with a comparison of my results and the actual relative atomic mass of lithium. Experimental considerations: The following are important aspects to consider when carrying out part one of the experiment: Ensure that the bung and delivery tubes are securely attached, as gas may be lost through loose connections. When filling up the graduated measuring cylinder with water, it is expected that it will not be completely filled and when upturned there may be some air at the top. This...
