Chapter 3: Q20P (page 62)
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.
Short Answer
猞 Formula mass and uncertainty of
猞 Molarity and absolute uncertainty of
猞 The uncertainty would increase by 5 in the fifth decimal place. Hence, the answer would still be .
