All the tools & learning materials you need for study success - in one app.
Get started for freeRewrite the number 3.123 56 (±0.167 89%) in the forms (a) number (± absolute uncertainty) and (b) number (± percent relative uncertainty) with an appropriate number of digits.
Suppose that in a gravimetric analysis, you forget to dry the filter crucibles before collecting precipitate. After filtering the product, you dry the product and crucible thoroughly before weighing them. Is the apparent mass of product always high or always low? Is the error in mass systematic or random?
Vernier scale. The figure below shows a scale found on instruments such as a micrometer caliper used for accurately measuring dimensions of objects. The lower scale slides along the upper scale and is used to interpolate between the markings on the upper scale. In (a), the reading (at the left-hand 0 of the lower scale) is between 1.4and 1.5on the upper scale. To find the exact reading, observe which mark on the lower scale is aligned with a mark on the upper scale. Because theon the lower scale is aligned with the upper scale, the correct reading is 1.46. Write the correct readings in (b) and (c) and indicate how many significant figures are in each reading.
Find the absolute and percent relative uncertainty and express each answer with a reasonable number of significant figures.
State whether the errors in (a)-(d) are random or systematic:
(a) A 25 - mL transfer pipet consistently delivers .
(b) A 10 - mL buret consistently delivers role="math" localid="1663303542431" when drained from exactly 0 to exactly 2mL and consistently delivers 2.03mL0.02mL when drained from 2 to 4mL .
(c) A 10 - mL buret delivered 1.9839g of water when drained from exactly 0.00 to 2.00mL . The next time I delivered water from the 0.00 to the 2.00mL mark, the delivered mass was .
(d) Four consecutive 20.0 - L injections of a solution into a chromatograph were made and the area of a particular peak was 4383 , 4410, 4401 , and 4390 units.
