Practical Scientific Procedure and Techniques Experience_1

Practical Scientific Procedure and TechniquesExperience is one of the key aspects which is needed during any activity and duty being done. As a technical assistant on Chemcalequip, I was able to gain a lot of experience from the procedures and techniques being done. Development in terms of career is a key milestone which I was able to gain when I was performing my duties. The processes and science were important part of the activities I was involved in. the practical activity involved own experiments and laboratory experiments which formed the key lessons and led to acquisition of key skills and abilities to further my career. Titration is one of the important experiments which I was involved in during my time at Chemcalequip. The major experience is gained from this process is the way to determine the molar concentration for strong acid solutions through the titration process. The titration process required completion of different experiments until the correct results are achieved. The analysis of the equipments error was am key process to analyze the result attained at each stage (Kroflič, Šarac & Bešter-Rogač 2012). Timing was a key skill which I gained during the titration process. Through this skill, I knew when to stop dripping the titrating liquid. Another key skill which I gained through this experiment was the level of accuracy needed. This process requires high accuracy level and that is the main reason for repeating the experiment several times. In order to learn about the concentration levels of the base and acid used, correct volumes must be involved.Therefore, I increased by accuracy competence when I was involved in the titration process. In whatever action I carry out, the accuracy level will be important since it will help to determine the success level of the output. The accuracy level will be important in my career during different experiments. Therefore being involved in this experiment, I was able to gain a lot of skills which will be important for my career in future.

The amount of heat change for substances is was is involved in calorimetry. Heat generation and consumption are important aspects which happen on objects around us (Feig 2016). This experiment proved to be one of the key important learning parts and formed a basic part of y future career. In this experiment, I used a thermometer to measure cooling temperatures and then plotted cooling curves. The temperatures were changing and therefore I had to keep an eye on the little changes which happened so that I would get the correct result. The results of the drop were used to draw the cooling curves. I used the result to draw the curve of best fit. This is because the external environment would interfere with the objects temperature change and therefore the drops were not constant. After that, I used the curve to calculate the gradient of the curves. This formed the key lessons which I was able to learn in this experiment. I gained confidence on how to compare the rates of cooling curves between two substances in this experiment. I gained a lot of skills while finding the gradient of the curves at different points. This helped me to deduce on areas where the drop was more and where it was less. Analytical skills were important as seen in the curve below to find the gradients. The experiment will help me in future to understand the changes in temperatures for substances. High confidence is required in future to perform duties. This will help me to believe on my abilities.
