A step in the analytical process that involves transforming the sample into something that is appropriate for the analysis.
Sample Preparation
You are given a cube of pure copper. You measure its density three times and the values recorded are 7.97 g/cm, 9.01 g/cm, 9.36 g/cm. Copper’s accepted density is 8.96 g/cm. What is your percent error?
2%
(9.23±0.03 + 4.21±0.02)-3.26±0.06
Compute for the absolute certainty and % relative uncertainty.
10.18±0.07; 0.7%
Process being used to obtain salt from ocean water?
evaporation

79000
Process that is commonly used to separate colored substances from each other?
Chromatography
An apparatus in the laboratory that is primarily used to guard against spillage when pouring chemicals from one container to another.
delivery funnel
Dylan is shooting dart pins at a target. Which of the following demonstrates high accuracy but low precision?
Dylan consistently hits around the target but never hits the bullseye
Maya buys several boxes of test tubes. On the package, it says that each box has 50 test tubes. She opens the boxes and only one of them has 50 test tubes inside, the other boxes either have too many or too few. How would you describe the box of test tube with 50 test tubes inside?
Accurate and precise.
Method of separation being utilized for mixture of iron and sulfur
magnetism
It is prepared by weighing out an appropriate portion of a pure solid and dissolving it to a measure volume of liquid.
stock solution
An experiment calls for measuring 30ml of NaCl solution in a graduated cylinder. How should the graduated cylinder be read?
Hunch down until your head is on the same level as the table top, then look to make sure the bottom of the meniscus is at 30ml
How close a measurement is to the true value is
Accuracy
True or False
Chromatography is used to identify the nature of the components of a given sample
True
Simplify: 3.85 x 10^18 /7.35 x 10^36
5.24 x10^17
Good work practices in the laboratory include
confining long hair and loose clothing
Why is volumetric flask considered as more precise in measuring volume instead of a beaker, Erlenmeyer flask etc.?
it only measures specific volume of liquid
Simplify: 26.14/37.62 x 10^8(4.38 x 10^2)
3.04 x 10^10
Simplify: 9.24-1.342/2.3
3.43
Simplify: a^9b^14/(ab)^7
a^2b^7
Which of the following is TRUE about the volume of solvent and moles of solute in a diluted solution?
The increase in volume makes the solution unsaturated while the moles of solute remain constant.
Water can be separated from alcohol by simple distillation because
They have different boiling points
