Question
You have a stock solution certified by a manufacturer to contain 175.0 + 0.3 mg SO;-/ml. You would like to dilute it by a factor
of 100 to obtain 1.750 pg/mL. Two possible methods of dilution are stated. For each method, calculate the resulting absolute
uncertainty in concentration. Use the manufacturer's tolerances in the table for uncertainties.
Glassware
Tolerance
1-mL transfer pipet
10 mL transfer pipet
100-ml volumetric flask
+0.006 ml.
10.02 ml.
+0.08 ml.
Method A: Dilute 10.00 mL up to 100 mL with a transfer pipet and volumetric flask. Then take 10.00 mL of the dilute solution
and dilute it again to 100 mL.
absolute uncertainty: +
wg/mL
Method B: Dilute 1.000 ml. up to 100 ml. with a transfer pipet and volumetric flask.
absolute uncertainty: +
wg/mL
Why is one method more precise than the other?
O Method B is more precise because the percent relative uncertainty in the l-mL pipet is 0.6%, which is 3 times larger
than the uncertainties of the other glassware.
O Method B is more precise because the absolute uncertainty in the 1-ml pipet is 0.006 mL., which is smaller than the
uncertaintics of the other glassware.
O Method B is less precise hecause the absolute uncertainty in the 1-ml. pipet is 0.006 ml., which is smaller than the
uncertainties of the other glassware.
O Method B is less precise because the percent relative uncertainty in the 1-ml. pipet is 0.6%, which is 3 times larger than
