predefined volume of solution. These are volumetric flasks and single volume pipettes. They are characterised by a a high accuracy and repeatability of measurements. Flasks are designed to contain (TC, sometimes marked as IN) known volume of the solution, while pipettes are generally designed to deliver (TD, sometimes marked as EX) known volume (although in some rare cases they can 10 ml graduated cylinder be designed to contain). This is an important distinction - when you empty pipette you deliver exactly required volume and you dont have to worry about the solution that is left on the pipette walls and in pipette tip. At the same time you will never know how much solution was in the pipette. On the contrary, volumetric flask is known to contain required volume, but if you will pour the solution to some other flask you will never know how much of the solution was transferred. Both kinds of glass were designed this way as they serve different purposes. Volumetric flask is used to dilute original sample to known volume, so it is paramount that it contains exact volume. Pipette is used to transfer the solution, so it is important that it delivers known volume. Note, that volumetric pipettes are designed in such a way that after a fluid is dispensed, a small drop of liquid will remain in the tip. In general you should not blow this drop out. The correct volume will be dispensed from the pipe
deliver a volume known to a few hundredths of a milliliter, or about 0.01 mL. One can then report quantities greater than 10 mL to four significant figures. Glassware designed for this level of accuracy and 10 ml beaker precision is expensive, and requires some care and skill to give best results. Four 1 ml pipette uncertainty main types of volumetric glassware are common: the graduated cylinder, the volumetric flask, the buret and the pipet. These have specific uses error analysis lab report chemistry and will be discussed individually. There are some points that are common to all types, however. These involve cleanliness and how to read volumes accurately. Cleanliness is essential to good results. Chemically clean glass supports http://www.titrations.info/pipette-burette a uniform film of water, with no hanging droplets visible. Rinse your glassware thoroughly with deionized water when you are finished with it. If you are suspicious at all, wash it before you use it as well. With some types of glassware, one "conditions" the apparatus by rinsing with a few small portions of the solution one will be measuring prior to conducting the actual work. This prevents water droplets from diluting http://www.webassign.net/question_assets/tccgenchem2l1/glassware/manual.html one's solution, and changing the concentration. More detail on how to do this will be given in the discussion of the individual pieces of glassware. All volumetric glassware is calibrated with markings used to determine a specific volume of liquid to varying degrees of accuracy. To read this volume exactly, the bottom of the curved surface of the liquid, the meniscus, should be located at the scribed line for the desired volume. It is often easier to see the meniscus if you put a white paper or card behind the apparatus. If your eye is above or below the level of the meniscus, your readings will be inaccurate due to the phenomenon of parallax. View the meniscus at a level perpendicular to your eye to avoid this as a source of error. TC Versus TD Some volumetric glassware bears the label "TC 20°C" which stands for "to contain at 20°C." This means that at 20°C, that flask will have precisely the volume listed inside it. If you were to pour out the liquid, you would need to get every drop out of it to have that volume. Alternatively, some volumetric glassware bears the label "TD 20°C" which stands for "to deliver at 20°C." This means that at 20°C, precisely the volume listed will

If the volume and uncertainty for one use of the pipet is 9.992 ± 0.006 mL, what is the volume and uncertainty when we use the pipet twice? As a first guess, we might simply add together the volume and the maximum uncertainty for each delivery; thus \[\mathrm{(9.992\: mL + 9.992\: mL) ± (0.006\: mL + 0.006\: mL) ml pipette uncertainty = 19.984 ± 0.012\: mL}\] It is easy to appreciate that combining uncertainties in this way overestimates the total uncertainty. Adding the uncertainty for the first delivery to that of the second delivery assumes that with each use the indeterminate error is in the same direction and is as large as possible. At the other extreme, we might assume that the uncertainty for one delivery is positive and the other is negative. If we subtract the maximum uncertainties for each delivery, \[\mathrm{(9.992\: mL + 9.992\: mL) ± (0.006\: mL - 0.006\: mL) = 19.984 ± 0.000\: mL}\] we clearly underestimate the total uncertainty. So what is the total uncertainty? From the previous discussion we know that the total uncertainty is greater than ±0.000 mL and less than ±0.012 mL. To estimate the cumulative effect of multiple uncertainties we use a mathematical technique known as the propagation of uncertainty. Our treatment of the propagation of uncertainty is based on a few simple rules. Note Although we will not derive or further justify these rules here, you may consult the additional resources at the end of this chapter for references that discuss the propagation of uncertainty in more detail. 4.3.1 A Few Symbols A propagation of uncertainty allows us to estimate the uncertainty in a result from the uncertainties in the measurements
