Practical Flashcards
Number of moles
M*V
2nd qs usually
Mole ratio method
If NaOH(Alkali) in the burrette(Fa1)
27-29
If H2SO4(acid) is in the burette (Fa2)
23-25
So ratio between
FA1: FA2 (1:18 conc. ratio)
NaOH: H2SO4
(1:1)
Remove the funnel as so as you pour
the acid into the burette
First rinse burette w water
then rinse w acid
show how you work-out the
average
After you add acid to burette
allow some acid to flow and make it zero – due to air gaps.
CALCULATING % UNCERTAINTY
Burette
Take least count of burette (0.1)
Find error (0.1/2 = 0.05)
Calculate % error ( (error/value) *2) *100
=0.4(usual range)
calculating % uncertainity of Balance
Least count (0.01)
Error (0.005 )
% error same formula (remember *2)
*2 because initial and final
Why does burette have a higher % uncertainty than pipette?
Burette least count is 0.1
Pipette least count is 0.01
However the burette is used twice therefor increasing its % uncertainty
Student is incorrect AND explanation given:
burette error = 2 0.05 (which is >0.06 / so 0.40% >
0.24%)
