Question
Julie has been asked to measure the concentration of a sample solution using a spectrophotometer. After a first attempt, she realizes that, to make the measurement, she must first dilute the sample solution. Julie transfers 1.3 mL1.3 mL of the sample to a 250 mL250 mL volumetric flask and fills the rest of the flask with water to the 250 mL250 mL line. She then uses the spectrophotometer to measure the concentration of the dilute solution as 5.5×10−5 M.5.5×10−5 M.
What is the concentration of the starting sample solution?

- A stock solution of 0.225 +/- 0.003 M NaNO2 was transferred to a 100 mL volumetric flask (class A) and diluted to the mark. If 7 mL of the stock solution was transferred using one 5-mL and two 1-mL volumetric pipettes, what is the new concentration of the solution and the uncertainty?arrow_forwardTyler the titrating student did not rinse his buret properly and residual water (not titrant) was left in the buret prior to filling the buret with base. how would the Precision, Accuracy, and Mass of CaCO3 in antacid be affected?arrow_forwardYou have a stock solution of 150.0±0.3 mg SO²/mL that has been certified by the manufacturer. You decide to dilute the solution by a factor of 100 to get a final concentration of 1.500 mg/mL. To do this, you use a 1.000±0.006 mL transfer pipette to transfer your stock solution to a 100.000.08 mL volumetric flask that you then dilute to the mark. Please calculate the absolute and relative error for the final concentration.arrow_forward

The diluted solution is then placed in a spray bottle for application on the desired surfaces. How many moles of luminol are present in 2.00 L of the diluted spray? Express your answer with the appropriate units.arrow_forwardWhat is the absolute uncertainty and relative uncertainty of the molarity of the solution? M = = 0.078376462 = 0.078 M Pb2+arrow_forward

If the absorbance for the solution was 0.436, calculate the equilibrium concentration of iron(III) thiocyanate in the solution. Report your answer in mM with three places after the decimal.arrow_forwardThe standard solution is prepared by dissolving a known mass of zinc pellets with conc. HCl. The solution is then neutralized, transferred into a 250 mL volumetric flask and filled to the calibration mark. If 0.9809 g of Zn was weighed using an electronic balance with a relative uncertainty of ± 0.01 % and the 250 mL volumetric flask has a known relative uncertainty of ± 0.06 %, what would be the absolute uncertainty of the concentration of the solution? The molecular weight of the zinc pellets is 65.39 g/molarrow_forward
- A forensic chemist prepares a standard of caffeine in chloroform for use in a quantitative assay. The caffeine is purchased from a reputable supply company and arrives with a certificate stating that it is 99.5% pure or better (written 99.5% + or + 99.5%). The analyst needs to make a stock solution at a concentration near 1 mg/mL. To do so, she obtains a Class A 50.00 mL volumetric flask (± 0.05 mL) and uses an analytical balance to accurately weight out 49.6 mg. The balance uncertainty is listed as ± 0.0003 g near the 50 mg range. The analyst quantitatively transfers the powder to the flask and carefully dilutes the solution to volume. Report the concentration of the solution in mg/mL and the propagated uncertainty associated with it. Use the NUSAP form to report your answer with the proper number of significant figures in the final result. You get to pick which “assessment” is presented.arrow_forwardThe following volumes of 0.000300 M SCN are diluted to 15.00 mL. Determine the concentration of SCN in each sample after dilution.
