Explain the difference between random error and systematic error.
An electrochemical cell consists of a left compartment with a zinc electrode in contact with 1.0 mnol/L Zn(NO3)2(aq) and a right
compartment with a silver electrode in contact with 1.0 mol/L AGNO3(aq).
The standard reduction potentials are:
E° = 0.80 V
Ag* + e = Ag
Zn2* + 2e = Zn
E° = -0.76 V
When this cell is allowed to operate at 25°C, which of the following statements is true?
The silver electrode will be the anode.
B The concentration of Ag+ ions in right compartment will increase.
C The standard cell potential for this cell is 0.04 V.
D
The silver electrode will be the cathode.
E Zn2* ions will be reduced to Zn metal.
What are the similarities in random error and systematic error? In analytical method and graphical method?
