(a) How many millilitres of 53.4(±0.4)wt%NaOHwith a density of 1.52(±0.01)g/mLwill you need to prepare 2.000L of 0.169M NaOH ?

(b) If the uncertainty in delivering NaOH is ±0.01mL, calculate the absolute uncertainty in the molarity (0.169M). Assume there is negligible uncertainty in the formula mass of NaOH and in the final volume (2.000L).

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) 16.65 mL of NaOH is required to prepare 2.000L of 0.169M NaOH.

(b) The absolute Uncertainity is±0.4mL

Step by step solution

01

The requirement of NaOH

(a)

For the preparation of 2.000L, 0.169M NaOH, from 53.4 wt% of NaOH.

The mass of the NaOH which are required=2.000L0.169M40g1mol=13.52gNaOH

So, the quantity of solution is=10053.4×13.52g×1mL1.52g=16.65mL

16.65 mL of NaOH is required to prepare 2.000L of 0.169M NaOH.

02

The value of absolute Uncertainty

(b)

The mass of NaOH is=2.000L0.169M±x40g1mol=13.52g±xNaOH

So, the absolute Uncertainity in the molarity is

=10053.4±0.4×13.52g±x×1mL1.52g±0.01=16.65mL±0.4+x+0.01

The uncertainty in delivering is 0.01.

So,

0.4+x+0.01=0.01x=±0.4mL

The absolute Uncertainity is ±0.4mL
