In lab notebook pages turned in at end of Experiment 0 lab. You do not need to provide the sketch here.

Fill in the remaining parts of the worksheet, items 3-13. You must type your responses; insert tables using the table tool function in Word and use Microsoft Equation 3.0 (Object, Microsoft Equation 3.0) to insert all formulas and to show all calculations. 3. Answer the following MSDS questions a. What does the acronym MSDS stand for? Material Safety Data Kit 3 / 4 pts

b. What type of information does an MSDS sheet provide? It provides information for: Product and Company Information Hazards Identification Composition First Aid Measures Firefighting Measures Accidental Release Measures Handling and Storage Exposure Controls/Personal Protection Physical and Chemical properties Stability and Reactivity Toxicological Information Ecological Information Disposal Considerations Transport Information Regulatory Information

c. From the MSDS sheet, what is or are the principle routes of exposure for this substance?

2 / 3 pts

The principle routes of exposure for this substance are inhalation, skin contact, eye contact, and swallowing. d. From the MSDS sheet, what is the melting point range for substance, with units? The melting point for this substance is 121-125oC. e. From the MSDS sheet, what is the physical state of this substance? 3 / 3 pts The physical state of this substance is white crystalline solid. 3 / 3 pts this

provided by your TA and for the population paper mass data set provided on

10 Paper Masses: 0.672+0.0063

Population Paper Mass Data Set: 0.660+0.024

5. In this experiment you had a finite data set and a much larger population data set. All the pieces of filter paper that comprise these data sets came from the same box (lot) of filter paper. a. Which data set gives a more accurate representation of the true filter mass for this box of filter paper? Explain. The much larger population paper mass data set gives a more accurate representation of the true filter paper mass because the size of the data set is greater than the sample size of the 10 paper masses. 5 / 5 pts paper

9. The error in the pH readings obtained using Electrode A is called The error in the pH readings is called random error.

6 / 6 pts what?

10. Was the data obtained using pH Electrode A accurate, precise, neither or both? Explain.

6 / 6 pts

The data obtained using Electrode A is both accurate and precise because the obtained averages are close to the true values and the standard deviations are small. 11. Construct a table of your pH 4.00 and 8.00 data that you obtained 9 / 9 pts using pH Electrode C and insert it below. Include the average and standard deviation for

each pH.

12. How is the error in the pH readings using Electrode C different the error in the pH reading obtained using Electrode A? Be specific.

6 / 6 pts from

The error in the pH readings using Electrode C is systematic error, whereas the error resulting from Electrode A was random error. Due to the results displayed above, it seems that the pH electrode was calibrated one pH unit higher than normal. This resulted in all values to be approximately one pH unit greater than the true value.

13. Was the data obtained using pH Electrode C accurate, precise, neither or both? Explain.

6 / 6 pts

The data obtained using Electrode C is precise but not accurate. It is precise because the standard deviations for both the pH readings are relatively small. It is not accurate because the average values (5.06 and

8.90) are greater than the respective true values.
