From the experimental data obtained, the diffusivity of acetone vapour were
calculated for 40˚C and 50˚C:
Temperature Diffusivity
From the table above, it can be observed that the value of diffusivity is directly
proportional to the temperature. The higher the temperature is, the diffusivity
of the acetone vapour will also increase. Diffusion is the motion of molecules
that moves from a region of higher liquid concentration to a region of lower
liquid concentration and the motion is also further increased by the increase in
temperature due to a higher temperature, the kinetic energy generated by
molecules is also higher which also will excite the molecules more, increasing
the overall diffusivity of the acetone vapour.
Error Analysis
The scale of the microscope is very small and the line marking scale of
every 1mm (0.75mm for the vernier scale) were close to each other and
also the eye position of the person reading the scale is important. The
eyesight should be parallel to the scale which might contribute to
parallax error.
The liquid in the narrow tube was moving at a speed that is very difficult
to measure even by using the microscope to observe the liquid level in
the tube and by the time the meniscus height values were taken, they
were not the actual values that corresponded to the time as there were
delays in taking the reading (phone camera focus adjustment contribute
to the time lapses) which contributed to the inaccuracy in calculating
t
as the time taken were not exactly at 30, 60, 90 and 120
( L Lo)
minutes which in this case we assumed that the time taken were exactly
at every 30 minutes to ease calculations
Two different instruments were used for T= 40˚C and 50˚C, which might
have some deviations in terms of thermostat calibration curve which
definitely is different from one to another
