    survive. Accuracy and Precision relate to quality of measurement. Accuracy refers to how close the measurements are to the “true” value or accepted standard value or known value. Precision is how close measurements are to each other. Precision is a unit of measurement that is also referred to as the ability to reproduce the same results multiple times. Society is reliant on standard measurements when they buy goods and services. Society depends upon the accuracy and precision of measurements

    uncertainty gives the reader an idea of the precision and accuracy of your measurements. Use the following method for finding the uncertainty associated with any measuring device used in lab. First‚ find the least count‚ or the smallest printed increment‚ of the measuring device. On the meter sticks‚ the least count is 1 mm. On the double pan balances‚ the least count is 0.1 g. On the small graduated cylinders‚ the least count is 25 ml. If you are using the full precision of the instrument‚ you are probably

    ability to ’tare’ when taking the mass of your sample? Be specific. Answer: Tare is used to reset a balance to zero in order to get only the weight of a sample‚ not of a sample and container (Yee‚ n.d.‚ Weighing…). It is important because accuracy and precision are both very important when measuring. The tare feature makes the measurement more accurate. It also allows just the substance to be measured without the substance having to be put directly on the balance. (c) (2 pts) What is the difference

    0.03 g/cm^3. The results for this experiment prove that as you increase % of NaCL‚ the density increases also because of the weight of NaCL is increased. Graph #1 shows that as the %NaCL increased so did the density‚ therefore proving the accuracy and precision of part II calculations. In part III‚ of the experiment‚ the density of regular shaped objects‚ were calculated based on volume measured method and water displacement method. My hypothesis for this part of the experiment was that volume measured

    in presence of a base to yield phenylthiourea derivative. This derivative showed maximum absorbance at 240 nm. Beer’s law is obeyed in the concentration range of 5-25 µg/ml. The method was validated in terms of linearity‚ precision (relative standard deviation 1.1%)‚ accuracy and specificity. The proposed method is the only method available for spectrophotometric determination of the drug. It is simple‚ precise‚ accurate‚ sensitive and reproducible and can be used for the routine quality control
