PHY 101L Module One Lab Report Measurements and Uncertainty

Standard deviation of the measurements in the picture

A student determines the concentration of an unknown sample using two different methods. Each method has three different trials; the average, standard deviation and percent error produced by each method is listed below. Method 1 Average: 10.56 M NaOH Standard deviation: 1.35 M NaOH Percent error: 1.25% Method 2 Average: 10.92 M NaOH Standard deviation: 1.02 M NaOH Percent error: 3.45% Which method was more precise? How can you tell?

A chemical analysis yields masses of Zn that are higher by 2 mg compared to the expected value. Calculate the percentage relative error if the true mass of Zn in the sample is 125 mg. O 100.4% O 0.8% 98.4% O 1.6%

(8) Identify whether the following are examples of systematic or random error or are mistakes: a. Using an inaccurately calibrated buret. b. An uncertainty of 1 mg in the weight of your sample.∓ c. Overshooting the endpoint on your first sample, then hitting the endpoint on the remaining samples.d. Failing to let your volumetric pipet drain for a few seconds have most of the liquid has been delivered.

Two students measured the density of water three times each. Their results are shown below. Trial Student 1       Student 2 1 0.953 g/mL          1.102 g/mL 2 0.949 g/mL          1.005 g/mL 3 0.956 g/mL          0.901 g/mL9. Calculate the standard deviation in the measurements for student 1 and then do the same for student 2. Show your work

Q 1 thank you!

How can you tell?

how to find average density and standard devi

Analytical Chemistry

1. Research on the limitation of accuracy of the following instruments: • analytical balance • top-loading balance • serological pipette • graduated cylinder • burette • volumetric flask • Erlenmeyer flask • beaker 2. Define the term, "measurement uncertainty". Among the instruments listed above, which ones have the highest uncertainty? Which ones have the lowest? 3. Based on the measurement uncertainty of the above instruments, which instruments would yield the lowest percent error?
