A volume of 250 ml of a 0.05 M solution of a reagent of formula weight (relative molecular mass) 40 was made up, the weighing being done by difference. The standard deviation of each weighing was 0.0001 g. The standard deviation of the volume of solvent used was 0.05 ml. Express this as a relative standard deviation. Hence calculate the relative standard deviation of the molarity of the solution.

A volume of 250 ml of a 0.05 M solution of a reagent of formula weight (relative molecular mass) 40 was made up, the weighing being done by difference. The standard deviation of each weighing was 0.0001 g: what were the standard deviation and relative standard deviation of the weight of reagent used? The standard deviation of the volume of solvent used was 0.05 ml. Express this as a relative standard deviation. Hence calculate the relative standard deviation of the molarity of the solution. Repeat the calculation for a reagent of formula weight 392.
A solution is prepared by weighing 5.0000 g of cesium iodide into a 100-mL volumetric flask. The balance used has a precision of 0.2 mg reported as a standard deviation, and the volumetric flask could be filled with a precision of 0.15mL also reported as a standard deviation. What is the estimated standard deviation of concentration (g/mL)?

A method for the detection of morphine is used to generate a calibration curve in which the assay response (y) is plotted versus morphine concentration (x, in mg/L). This gives a straight line with a slope (m) of 0.241 and a y-intercept (b) of 0.011, where y = mx + b. The slope of this line has a standard deviation of ±0.007, and the standard deviation of the intercept is ±0.006. If the sample from an athlete gives a response of 0.506 ± 0.013 in this method, what is the concentration of morphine in the sample and estimated precision of this concentration?
A volumetric calcium analysis on samples of the blood serum of a patient believed to be suffering from a hyperparathyroid condition produced the following data: mmol Ca/L = 3.10, 3.08, 3.28, 3.15, 3.26, 3.12, 3.14, 3.18, 3.25, 3.11, 2.95. Calculate: Mean Standard deviation Coefficient of variation What is the 95% confidence interval for the mean of the data, assuming no prior information about the precision of the analysis? Apply the Q test to the following data sets to determine whether the outlying result should be retained or rejected at the 95% confidence level. ( work on the first measurements according to your case)
