Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The copper yield results are lowered by the value 0.5 mg. The percent relative error due to the source is to be determined when the weight of the copper sample is 25mg.

Concept introduction:

The following formula will be used for the calculation of the relative error-

Er=EmEtEt×100 ............….. (1)

Where,

Er = relative error

Em = measured value

Et = true value

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The copper yield results are lowered by the value 0.5 mg. The percent relative error due to the source is to be determined when the weight of the copper sample is 100mg.

Concept introduction:

The following formula will be used for the calculation of the relative error-

Er=EmEtEt×100 ............….. (1)

Where,

Er = relative error

Em = measured value

Et = true value

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The copper yield results are lowered by the value 0.5 mg. The percent relative error due to the source is to be determined when the weight of the copper sample is 250mg.

Concept introduction:

The following formula will be used for the calculation of the relative error-

Er=EmEtEt×100 ............….. (1)

Where,

Er = relative error

Em = measured value

Et = true value

Interpretation Introduction

(d)

Interpretation:

The copper yield results are lowered by the value 0.5 mg. The percent relative error due to the source is to be determined when the weight of the copper sample is 500mg.

Concept introduction:

The following formula will be used for the calculation of the relative error-

Er=EmEtEt×100 ............….. (1)

Where,

Er = relative error

Em = measured value

Et = true value

A measurement of the mass of a specimen was determined to be 4.203 plus or minus  0.001 g. What is the fractional uncertainty in the mass?
A group of students took turns using a laboratory balanceto weigh the water contained in a beaker. The results theyreported were 111.42 g, 111.67 g, 111.21 g, 135.64 g,111.02 g, 111.29 g, and 111.42 g.(a) Should any of the data be excluded before the average     is calculated?(b) From the remaining measurements, calculate the average value of the         mass of the water in the beaker.(c) Calculate the standard deviation s and, from it, the     95% confidence limit.
The pharmacist attempts to weigh 0.375 g o morphine sulfate on a balance of dubious accuracy. When checked on a highly accurate balance, the weight is found to be 0.400 g. Calculate the percentage of error in the first weighing.
