error'). Experimental uncertainty arises because of: Limits in the how exact the measuring apparatus is. This is the precision of the apparatus. Imperfections in experimental procedures. Judgements made by the operator. When can my results

be said to be precise? If you repeat a measurement several times and obtain values uncertainty of measuring cylinder that are close together, your results are said to be precise. If the same person obtains these close values, then the experimental procedure percentage error of 25cm3 pipette is repeatable. If a number of different people carry out the same measuring procedure and the values are close the procedure is reproducible. What is a systematic error? A systematic error is one that is repeated in each

measurement taken. If this is realised after the experimental work is done, it can be taken into account in any calculations. What are random errors? Even the most careful and experienced operator cannot avoid random errors. However, their effect can be reduced by carrying out a measurement many times (if the opportunity exists) and working out an average value. Let's look in more detail at 'built-in' uncertainty of some laboratory equipment... Some measurement uncertainties are given

How about thermometers...? Spirit filled thermometers are regularly used in college laboratories. They are often more precise than accurate. It is quite easy to read a thermometer to the nearest 0.2 °C. However, the overall calibration can be out by a degree or more. For example, for a thermometer reading 43

jerichorayel | College Teacher | (Level 2) Senior Educator Posted on September 26, 2012 at 2:20 AM Hello! To accuracy of burette pipette and measuring cylinder measure the percentage error for the amount of liquid that you have gathered using the 25mL graduated cylinder, we can use this formula: percent error = maximum error/value of measurement x 100 http://www.avogadro.co.uk/miscellany/errors.htm where: maximum error= is the value written in the apparatus (i.e. `+- 0.1 mL)` *try to look for that value in your graduated cylinder Value of measurement= is the amount of substance that you used, in our case its 10mL Let's just say that maximum error is equal to `+-.3mL.` `
` ` ` We can have: percent error= 0.30 mL/10 mL x 100 http://www.enotes.com/homework-help/how-do-you-calculate-percent-error-25ml-graduated-362330 = 3% error note: Please provide the maximum error for the apparatus that you are using in order for you to calculate the percent error.
