CN + En CNarrow_forward3) Propagation of uncertainty. Every measurement has uncertainty. In this problem, we'll evaluate the uncertainty in every step of a titration of potassium hydrogen phthalate (a common acid used in titrations, abbreviated KHP, formula CsH5KO4) with NaOH of an unknown concentration. The calculation that ultimately needs to be carried out is: concentration NaOH 1000 x mass KHP × purity KHP molar mass KHP x volume NaOH Measurements: a) You use a balance to weigh 0.3992 g of KHP. The uncertainty is ±0.15 mg (0.00015 g). b) You use a buret to slowly add NaOH to the KHP until it reaches the endpoint. It takes 18.73 mL of NaOH. The uncertainty of the burst is 0.03 mL.. c) The manufacturer states the purity of KHP is 100%±0.05%. d) Even though we don't think much about them, molar masses have uncertainty as well. The uncertainty comes from the distribution of isotopes, rather than random measurement error. The uncertainty in the elements composing KHP are: a. Carbon: b.

You have a stock solution certified by the manufacturer to contain 150.0±0.03 µg SO42-/mL. You would like to dilute it by a factor of 100 to obtain 1.500 µg/mL. Calculate the uncertainty in the two methods of dilution below. Use the following uncertainty values for glassware: Glassware Uncertainty (assume glassware has been calibrated and treat the values below as random error) 1.00 mL volumetric pipet 0.01 mL 10.00 mL volumetric pipet 0.02 mL 100.00 mL volumetric flask 0.08 mL Transfer 10.00 mL with a volumetric pipet and dilute it to 100 mL with a volumetric flask.
