    Uncertainty Worksheet

    1. Determine values of each of the measurements including the uncertainties. Units are milliliters (ml).
    a) b) c)

    26.3 +- 0.1 mL 2.5 +- 0.1 mL 2.5 +- 0.1mL

    d) e) f)

    67.36 +- 0.01 67.356 +- 0.001 21.1 +- 0.05

    2. Convert the following to percent uncertainties:


    a. 2.70 ± 0.05 cm b. 12.02 ± 0.08 cm

    (0.08/12.02)(100%)= 0.67%
    1.85%

    3. Convert the following to absolute uncertainties:


    a. 3.5 cm ± 10 % b. 16 s ± 8 %
    3.5 cm × 0.10= 0.35 cm
    16s × 0.08= 1.28s
    4. Determine the percent uncertainties on the following measurements.

    a) b)

    (0.01/67.36) × 100= 0.015% (0.001/ 67.356) × 100= 0.0015%

    c) d)

    (0.1/26.3)(100)= 0.38%
    21.1 +- 0.05
    0.05 / 21.1 (100)= 0.24%

    Complete these last two questions in your note book.

    5. The literature value for the standard enthalpy change of combustion of methanol, CH3OH(l) was found
    to be -726.0kJ mol-1. The experimental value was found to be -680.0 kJ mol-1.

    Calculate the percentage error, correct to two decimal places.
