The temperature of a reaction was monitored with an thermometer that is reported to have precision of 20.2 K (uniform distribution). If we used this thermometer to monitor the temperature change in a particular exothermic reaction, what is expanded uncertainty (use coverage factor k = 2) in the net temperature change for the following measurements: Temperature before reaction starts = 296.2 K Temperature after reaction is finished = 305.6 K Net temperature change = 9.4 K. Expanded uncertainty at the 95% confidence interval level (k = 2) = ? (include unit!) Answer: 0.3K

Question
The temperature of a reaction was monitored with an thermometer that is reported to have precision of 0.2 K (uniform
distribution). If we used this thermometer to monitor the temperature change in a particular exothermic reaction, what is
expanded uncertainty (use coverage factor k = 2) in the net temperature change for the following measurements:
Temperature before reaction starts = 296.2 K
Temperature after reaction is finished = 305.6 K
Net temperature change = 9.4 K.
Expanded uncertainty at the 95% confidence interval level (k = 2) = ? (include unit!)
Answer:
0.3K
