A solution of F− is prepared by dissolving 0.0944±0.0006 g NaF (molar mass = 41.989±0.001 g/mol) in 162.00±0.06 mL of water. Calculate the concentration of F− in solution and its absolute uncertainty. To avoid rounding errors, do not round your answers until the very end of your calculations.
A concentration solution of hydrochloric acid has a concentration of 1.202 (± 0.005) M. If 14.00 (± 0.07) mL of this solution is placed in a 250.00 (± 0.05) mL volumetric flask and water is added to the mark, what is the absolute uncertainty reported to the correct number of significant figures for the dilute concentration of HCl?
The mass of magnesium used in this experiment is critical to determining the moles of
hydrogen gas generated. The analytical balances used in Chemistry 1A labs are very sensitive
to point that touching materials with your fingers before measuring them can affect the
measurements. The balances are sensitive enough to detect dirt and oils from your fingers
transferred to the magnesium. Would your experimental value of R increase or decrease if
the mass of magnesium measured was artificially high due the touching it with your hands?
