During a titration experiment, 50.00 mL of a certain solution needs to be transferred to an Erlenmeyer flask. To measure the volume, a student used a calibrated 10-mL pipette five times. If the pipette delivers an actual volume of 9.98 mL with an uncertainty of ±0.02 mL, what will be the uncertainty in the final volume?

A solution of F− is prepared by dissolving 0.0944±0.0006 g NaF (molar mass = 41.989±0.001 g/mol) in 162.00±0.06 mL of water. Calculate the concentration of F− in solution and its absolute uncertainty. To avoid rounding errors, do not round your answers until the very end of your calculations.
Take the mass measurement with nitrogen (28 dalton or atomic mass units per molecule) and the mass measurement with helium (4 daltons per atom) and use the difference between the measured masses to find the mass of 1 dalton (one atomic mass unit) in grams. The standard value of the dalton is 1.66053906660×10−27 kg with an uncertainty of ±50 in the last two figures. Can you identify the sources of error in your measurement?

Calculate the absolute uncertainty in the concentration, assuming that the balance is calibrated and precise to ±0.1 mg and that the volumetric flask is calibrated and precise to 0.05 mL.
A researcher has developed a new analytical method to determine the percent by mass iron in solids. To test the new method, the researcher purchases a standard reference material sample that is 2.85% iron by mass. Analysis of the iron standard returns values of 2.75%, 2.89%, 2.77%, 2.81%, and 2.87%. Are the results of the new method significantly different from the standard reference sample?

A concentration solution of hydrochloric acid has a concentration of 1.202 (± 0.005) M. If 14.00 (± 0.07) mL of this solution is placed in a 250.00 (± 0.05) mL volumetric flask and water is added to the mark, what is the absolute uncertainty reported to the correct number of significant figures for the dilute concentration of HCl?
To prepare a solution of NaCI, you weigh out 2.634 (to.002) g and dissolve it in a volumetric flask whose volume is 100.00 (±o.08) mL. Express the molarity of the solution, along with its uncertainty, with an appropriate number of digits.
You determine the acetic acid (HOAc) content of vinegar by titrating with a sodium hydroxide standard solution to a phenolphthalein (an indicator) end point. An approximately 5-mL sample of vinegar is weighed on an analytical balance in a weighing boat and this is found to be 5.0268 g. The standard deviation in making a single weighing is 0.2 mg. The sodium hydroxide must be accurately standardised (this means its concentration must be accurately determined) by titrating known mass of high-purity potassium hydrogen phthalate, and three such titrations give molar concentrations of 0.1167, 0.1163 and 0.1164 mol L-1. A volume of 36.78 mL of sodium hydroxide is used to titrate each sample. The standard deviation of the burette used is 0.02 mL. Calculate the percentage of acetic acid in the vinegar and its standard deviation.

A student dissolves a Jefferson nickel to make 100.00 mL of solution in a volumetric flask. The student takes a 5.00 mL aliquot of the first solution and dilutes it to make 100.00 mL of a second solution. The student places a sample of the second solution in a cuvette for analysis using spectrophotometry. The molarity of the copper solution in the cuvette was determined by spectrophotometric analysis to be 2.90 x 10-2 M Cu. Calculate the mass of copper in the Jefferson nickel used to make the first solution. Use the diagram to help visualize the dilution process. WE IN GOD TRUST 100 mL LIBERTY 200 5 mL 100 mL cuvette

In 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.
