$$u_R = \sqrt{\left( \frac {u_A} {A} \right)^2 +\left( \frac {u_B} {B} \right)^2}$$, $$\frac {u_R} {R} = k \times \frac {u_A} {A}$$. The concentration and uncertainty for Cu2+ is 7.820 mg/L ± 0.047 mg/L.
From Table $$\PageIndex{1}$$ the relative uncertainty in [H+] is, $\frac {u_R} {R} = 2.303 \times u_A = 2.303 \times 0.03 = 0.069 \nonumber$, The uncertainty in the concentration, therefore, is, $(1.91 \times 10^{-4} \text{ M}) \times (0.069) = 1.3 \times 10^{-5} \text{ M} \nonumber$. Solving for the uncertainty in kA gives its value as $$1.47 \times 10^{-3}$$ or ±0.0015 ppm–1. Suppose you have a range for one measurement, such as a pipet’s tolerance, and standard deviations for the other measurements. We also can use a propagation of uncertainty to help us decide how to improve an analytical method’s uncertainty. Show your work here. Hope this helps. Privacy In other words, the volume delivered by the 5-mL pipet is 5.00 mL. Missed the LibreFest?

From the discussion above, we reasonably expect that the total uncertainty is greater than ±0.000 mL and that it is less than ±0.012 mL. For a 100cm3 flask it is ± 0.1cm3. The dilution calculations for case (a) and case (b) are, $\text{case (a): 1.0 M } \times \frac {1.000 \text { mL}} {1000.0 \text { mL}} = 0.0010 \text{ M} \nonumber$, $\text{case (b): 1.0 M } \times \frac {20.00 \text { mL}} {1000.0 \text { mL}} \times \frac {25.00 \text{ mL}} {500.0 \text{mL}} = 0.0010 \text{ M} \nonumber$, Using tolerance values from Table 4.2.1, the relative uncertainty for case (a) is, $u_R = \sqrt{\left( \frac {0.006} {1.000} \right)^2 + \left( \frac {0.3} {1000.0} \right)^2} = 0.006 \nonumber$, and for case (b) the relative uncertainty is, $u_R = \sqrt{\left( \frac {0.03} {20.00} \right)^2 + \left( \frac {0.3} {1000} \right)^2 + \left( \frac {0.03} {25.00} \right)^2 + \left( \frac {0.2} {500.0} \right)^2} = 0.002 \nonumber$. The other will pipette 9 ml of the dilution liquid into the sample solution. Of course we must balance the smaller uncertainty for case (b) against the increased opportunity for introducing a determinate error when making two dilutions instead of just one dilution, as in case (a).

If we dispense 20 mL using a 10-mL Class A pipet, what is the total volume dispensed and what is the uncertainty in this volume? Using the Vernier/Ocean Optics Spectrometer, 08. $Q = (0.15 \text{ A}) \times (120 \text{ s}) = 18 \text{ C} \nonumber$, Since charge is the product of current and time, the relative uncertainty in the charge is, $u_R = \sqrt{\left( \frac {0.01} {0.15} \right)^2 + \left( \frac {1} {120} \right)^2} = 0.0672 \nonumber$, $u_R = R \times 0.0672 = (18 \text{ C}) \times (0.0672) = 1.2 \text{ C} \nonumber$.
If the pH of a solution is 3.72 with an absolute uncertainty of ±0.03, what is the [H+] and its uncertainty? where, T is the transmittance, Po is the power of radiation as emitted from the light source and P is its power after it passes through the solution. It is easy to appreciate that combining uncertainties in this way overestimates the total uncertainty. For example, if the result is given by the equation, $\frac {u_R} {R} \sqrt{\left( \frac {u_A} {A} \right)^2 + \left( \frac {u_B} {B} \right)^2 + \left( \frac {u_C} {C} \right)^2} \label{4.2}$, The quantity of charge, Q, in coulombs that passes through an electrical circuit is. In Example $$\PageIndex{3}$$, for instance, we calculated an analyte’s concentration as 126 ppm ± 2 ppm, which is a percent uncertainty of 1.6%.
The numerator, therefore, is 23.41 ± 0.028. Use the mass of green crystals from Data Table III to find the mass percent iron in the green crystals. The concentration of iron diluted solution is the concentration of iron in the 100-mL volumetric flask. When verified, record your value on the blackboard. What is the absorbance if Po is $$3.80 \times 10^2$$ and P is $$1.50 \times 10^2$$? What is the analyte’s concentration, CA, and its uncertainty if Stotal is 24.37 ± 0.02, Smb is 0.96 ± 0.02, and kA is $$0.186 \pm 0.003 \text{ ppm}^{-1}$$?
As a first guess, we might simply add together the volume and the maximum uncertainty for each delivery; thus, (9.992 mL + 9.992 mL) ± (0.006 mL + 0.006 mL) = 19.984 ± 0.012 mL. Table $$\PageIndex{1}$$ provides equations for propagating uncertainty for some of these function where A and B are independent measurements and where k is a constant whose value has no uncertainty.

In other words, the volume contained in the 100-mL volumetric flask is 100.0 mL and the volume contained in the 250-mL volumetric flask is 250.0 mL. If the uncertainty in measuring Po and P is 15, what is the uncertainty in the absorbance? $u_R = \sqrt{(0.02)^2 + (0.02)^2} = 0.028 \nonumber$.
