Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The copper yield results are lowered by the value 0.5 mg. The percent relative error due to the source is to be determined when the weight of the copper sample is 25mg.

Concept introduction:

The following formula will be used for the calculation of the relative error-

Er=EmEtEt×100 ............….. (1)

Where,

Er = relative error

Em = measured value

Et = true value

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The copper yield results are lowered by the value 0.5 mg. The percent relative error due to the source is to be determined when the weight of the copper sample is 100mg.

Concept introduction:

The following formula will be used for the calculation of the relative error-

Er=EmEtEt×100 ............….. (1)

Where,

Er = relative error

Em = measured value

Et = true value

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The copper yield results are lowered by the value 0.5 mg. The percent relative error due to the source is to be determined when the weight of the copper sample is 250mg.

Concept introduction:

The following formula will be used for the calculation of the relative error-

Er=EmEtEt×100 ............….. (1)

Where,

Er = relative error

Em = measured value

Et = true value

Interpretation Introduction

(d)

Interpretation:

The copper yield results are lowered by the value 0.5 mg. The percent relative error due to the source is to be determined when the weight of the copper sample is 500mg.

Concept introduction:

The following formula will be used for the calculation of the relative error-

Er=EmEtEt×100 ............….. (1)

Where,

Er = relative error

Em = measured value

Et = true value

7. 22 This question is about several salts. (a) A hydrated salt, compound A, is analysed and has the following percentage composition by mass: Cr, 19.51%; CI, 39.96%; H, 4.51%; O, 36.02%. Calculate the formula of compound A, showing clearly the water of crystallisation. Show your working. formula of compound A = (b) A student carries out an experiment to determine the amount of water of crystallisation in the formula of another hydrated salt. The student intends to remove the water by heating the hydrated salt. A diagram of the apparatus used by the student is shown below. crucible pipeclay triangie The student adds the hydrated salt to the crucible and weighs the crucible and contents. The student heats the crucible and contents and allows them to cool. The student weighs the crucible and residue. The student's results are shown below. 16,84 Mass of crucible + hydrated salt/g 16.26 Mass of crucible + residue after heating/g
Chemistry (b) A sampling plan is necessary to ensure that a laboratory sample is truly a representative of the entire population. (i) Describe the goals of the sampling plan. "It is possible to determine whether the population is homogeneous or heterogeneous if a single sample is collected and analyzed." Comment on this statement. (ii)
Assuming that you weighted a piece of silver five times and each time you got 52 grams. However, the actual weight from the Bureau of Standards said it should weigh 50 g. (a) What is the % relative errors? (b) What type of error does this exemplify? (c) Does this affect (a) reliability (b) Accuracy (c) both a & b
