The pharmacist attempts to weigh 0.375 g o morphine sulfate on a balance of dubious accuracy. When checked on a highly accurate balance, the weight is found to be 0.400 g. Calculate the percentage of error in the first weighing.
Calculate the percent error for the following measurements: (a) The density of alcohol (ethanol) is found to be 0.8060 g/mL (true value = 0.7980 g/mL). (b) The mass of gold in an earring is analyzed to be 0.8478 g (true value = 0.8644 g
Two students determine the percentage of lead in a sampleas a laboratory exercise. The true percentage is 22.52%. Thestudents’ results for three determinations are as follows:(1) 22.52, 22.48, 22.54(2) 22.64, 22.58, 22.62(a) Calculate the average percentage for each set of data andstate which set is the more accurate based on the average.(b) Precision can be judged by examining the average of thedeviations from the average value for that data set. (Calculatethe average value for each data set; then calculate the averagevalue of the absolute deviations of each measurementfrom the average.) Which set is more precise?
