A group of students have a 1000-mL beaker with graduation markings every 50 mL and a volume error of ±1% and they also have a 1000-mL graduated cylinder with graduation markings every 25 mL and a volume error of ±1%. Whichever lab equipment they chose what would the volume error be when measuring 675 mL?

A student checked the accuracy of two standard top-loading balances by testing them with a standard 5.000-g mass. The results were as follows: Balance 1: 4.99 g, 5.04 g, 5.03 g, 5.01 g Balance 2: 4.97 g, 4.99 g, 4.95 g, 4.96 g Calculate the average values for balances 1 and 2 and calculate the percent error for each. Which balance is more accurate?

Which of the following represents the precision of a set of measurements? A student used water displacement method to measure the density of a metal. The average result of five attempts was 2.763 g/mL, and the calculated standard deviation was 0.026 g/mL. How should the result be reported in a "mean +/- st. dev." format?

The standard solution is prepared by dissolving a known mass of zinc pellets with conc. HCl. The solution is then neutralized, transferred into a 250 mL volumetric flask and filled to the calibration mark. If 0.9809 g of Zn was weighed using an electronic balance with a relative uncertainty of ± 0.01 % and the 250 mL volumetric flask has a known relative uncertainty of ± 0.06 %, what would be the absolute uncertainty of the concentration of the solution? The molecular weight of the zinc pellets is 65.39 g/mol
