Collecting Data/Measuring the Reaction

Flashcards focused on methods of collecting reaction data in chemical reactions.

Gas syringe

A device used to collect and measure the volume of gas produced in a reaction.

Change of mass

The method of measuring the mass lost as gas is released during a chemical reaction.

Precipitate

A solid that forms and settles out of a liquid mixture during a chemical reaction.

Mass balance

A scale used to accurately measure the mass of reactants and products in a chemical reaction.

Subjective method

A measurement method that relies on personal opinions, which may lead to inaccuracies.

Cloudiness

The obscuring of visibility in a solution caused by the formation of precipitates.

High resolution

The ability of an instrument, like a mass balance, to measure very small changes in quantity.

Disappearing mass

The mass that appears to decrease when gas is released into the environment.
