Rewrite the number 3.123 56 (±0.167 89%) in the forms (a) number (± absolute uncertainty) and (b) number (± percent relative uncertainty) with an appropriate number of digits.
We can measure the concentration of HCI solution by reaction with pure sodium carbonate: required of HCI .
(a) Find the formula mass (and its uncertainty) for .
(b) Find the molarity of the HCI and its absolute uncertainty.
(c) The purity of primary standard is stated to be 99.95 to 100.5wt % , which means that it can react with of the theoretical amount of . Recalculate your answer to (b) with this additional uncertainty.
