But I will tell you what I would do , as a chemist: The results that you quote are not very precise for a properly carried out set of titrations. But let us

Tamxxx New Member Joined: Mar 13, 2007 Messages: 114 Likes Received: 0 Im in my evaluating part, and i have to http://www.medstudent.org/threads/percentage-errors-question.31798/ include % errors, the thing is I only have one % error in my titration experiment and my teacher said that you have to include percentage errors for all measurements, The thing is how can if i didnt have any errors? Shall i just make it up? Will I lose Marks if i dont have any % errors? #1 Tamxxx, Apr 22, 2007 hash118118 New Member Joined: Feb 21, 2007 Messages: 237 Likes Received: 0 Tamxxx said: ↑ Im in my evaluating part, and i have to include % errors, the thing is I only have one % error in my titration experiment and my teacher said that you have to include percentage errors for all measurements, The thing is how can if i didnt have any errors?:confused: Shall i just make it up?

I don't think you understand the concept of percentage errors - you are analysing the errors assosciated with the appar
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 http://www.avogadro.co.uk/miscellany/errors.htm precise? If you repeat a measurement several times and obtain values that are close together, your http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/gcsebitesize/science/triple_ocr_21c/further_chemistry/volumetric_analysis/revision/5/ results are said to be precise. If the same person obtains these close values, then the experimental procedure 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 percentage error 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 below: EquipmentMeasurement to the nearest: Balance (1 decimal place)0.08 g Balance (2 decimal percentage error chemistry place)0.008 g Balance (3 decimal place)0.0008 g Measuring Cylinder (25 cm3)0.5 cm3 Graduated Pipette (25 cm3, Grade B)0.04 cm3 Burette (50 cm3, Grade B)0.08 cm3 Volumetric Flask (250 cm3, Grade B)0.2 cm3 Stopwatch (digital)0.01 s Calculating the percentage uncertainty (often called percentage error) ... Now try calculating the following percentage uncertainties... 1.00 g on a 2 decimal place balance 10.00 g on a 2 decimal place balance 1.00 g on a 3 decimal place balance 10 cm3 in a 25 cm3 measuring cylinder 25 cm3 in a 25 cm3 measuring cylinder 25 cm3 in a 25 cm3 graduated pipette (Grade B) 25 cm3 in a 50 cm3 burette (Grade B) 250 cm3 in a 250 cm3 volumetric flask (Grade B) 50 s on a digital stopwatch 8% 0.8% 0.08% 5% 2% 0.16% 0.32% 0.08% 0.02% Comparing uncertainties like those calculated above 'might' help you to decide which stage in an experimental procedure is likely to contribute most to the overall experimental uncertainty. 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 °C, if it is not of high quality the real temperature could be as high as 44 °C or as low as 42 °C. Arithmetical pro

Accuracy describes how close a result is to the true value. Precision is a measure of the spread of the measured values. If there is a big spread, the uncertainty is large. If an experiment has a good degree of accuracy and the results have a small uncertainty, and the experiment is not flawed in any other way (eg an unfair test), then the results are valid. Working out the uncertainty We can work out the uncertainty using a series of titration [titration: A quantitative procedure in which two solutions react in a known ratio, so if the concentration of one solution is known and the volumes of both are measured, the concentration of the other solution can be determined.] results: 26.5 g/dm3, 25.9 g/dm3, 26.2 g/dm3, 26.8 g/dm3, 27.1 g/dm3. The average is calculated by adding the values together and dividing by the number of values (five in this case). Average = 26.5 + 25.9 + 26.2 + 26.8 + 27.1/5 Average = 26.5 g/dm3 The range is between 25.9 g/dm3 and 27.1 g/dm3. Therefore, the uncertainty is 1.2 g/dm3. The percentage error is calculated by dividing the uncertainty by the average and then multiplying by 100: percentage error = 1.226.5 x 100 percentage error = 4.5% Read on if you're taking the higher paper.
