(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-
Where,
(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-
Where,
(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.

Principles of Instrumental Analysis
- Is it faster to 1) adjust the liquid level to exactly hit a graduated cylinder measurement mark or, 2) to estimate the last digit of precision in reading the volume?arrow_forwardIn order to find the density of a solution of unknown density, 10 mL of solution was drawn into a clean and dry beaker three times with a pipette and weighed and the weighing results were found to be 65.1452 g, 64.9982 g, 65.1027 g. Calculate the density of the solution and the standard deviation of the measurements, since the empty weight of the beaker is 52.2461 g.arrow_forwardis it possible for the calculated answer from a mulitplication or divison problem to contain more signficant figures than the measurements used in calculation? Explain is it posstible for the calculated answer from an additon or subtraction to contain more signifcant figures than the measurement used in calculation? explainarrow_forward
- What is the smallest mass that we can measure on an analytical balance that has a tolerance of ±0.1 mg, if the relative error must be less than 0.1%?arrow_forwardWhat is the uncertainty in a measurement of 0.39 mm?arrow_forwardWhat is the percentage uncertainty with the following measurement 0.100 ± 0.005 g? Provide your answer to one decimal point.arrow_forward
- over a course of multiple trials a student measures the density of methanol to be 0.707 g/mL, 0.799 g/mL, and 0.780 g/mL. calculate the average density, the deviation of each measurement and standard deviation of all data points.arrow_forwardThe 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/molarrow_forwardIn determining the density of a rectangular wooden block, use the information in the table below and the formula to fill in the empty boxes. (Apply the uncertainty rule) Volume of wooden block (cm3) = Length (cm) x Width (cm) x Thickness (cm) Mass (g) of wooden block (g) 20.5g Length of wooden block (cm) 5.00cm Width of wooden block (cm) 5.00cm Thickness of wooden block (cm) 1.00 cm Volume of wooden block (cm3) Density of wooden block (g/cm3) d = m/varrow_forward
- If 10.00 mL (measured using a volumetric pipette) of a solution is pipetted into a 50 mL beaker which weighs 43.015 g and the combined mass of the beaker and liquid is 56.108 g, what is the density of the liquid? Your answer should have 4 sig. figs.arrow_forwardA volumetric flask that is to be used to measure volume is supposed to be marked at 10.00 ml but is actually marked at 9.95 ml. This error affects its precision. True or false? please explainarrow_forwardIn the UV assay of paracetamol you are required to weigh tablet powder “…containing 0.150 g of Paracetamol…”. If the stated content of paracetamol per tablet is 500 mg and the weight of 20 tablets is 11.255 g then the amount of paracetamol tablet powder to be weighed is ....(Answer in grams to 3 decimals)arrow_forward
