A chemist wishes to manually calculate a derivative; the change in pH divided by the change in volume (∆pH/∆vol). The uncertainty in the pH measurements (epH) is 0.01 pH units. The uncertainty in the volume measurements(evol) is 0.03 mL. What is the expected uncertainty of the result if the chemist tries to make a measurement with a pH change of 0.30 and a volume change of 0.15 mL?
