CHEM 1 LAB ACTIVITY 1 Measurements Accuracy and Precision.1B
I.OBJECTIVE:
To determine the accuracy and precision of the set of measured value.
MATERIALS:
3 beakers
3 Graduated cylinders
2 buirettes
II.PROCEDURES
1.Each member will read the given liquid volume from the measuring instruments
and then write the readings to the scratch paper.
2.Tabulate the data on the table.
3.Compute the percent error and percent accuracy of the measured data.
4. Compute the standard deviation of the measured data using standard deviation.
5. Answer the guide questions.
Mean/s:
(NOTE: Never change your recorded readings A true researcher or professional experimenters
never manipulate the data.)
III.Data and Analysis:
Determine the accuracy and precision of the tabulated data above using the following formula
and standard value:
Stardard values:
Measuring instruments A B C
(Volume of Liquids)
Beaker 57 mL 74 mL 289 mL
Graduated Cylinder 18.5 mL 27. 0 mL 63.0 mL
Biurette 0.49 mL 16.8 mL None
(NOTE: Use the mean of the measure value in the equation of % error)
(NOTE: Write all you solutions/calculations on a separate page of you lab notebook.)
GUIDE QUESTIONS:
1. Which measuring instrument you find difficult to read measurements? Which do you
find easy? Why?
2. Which measuring instrument has the highest accuracy and precision? Why do you
think that instrument give the most accurate and precise measurements?
CONCLUSION:
What is the importance of having accurate measuring skills and in your field?
( Note: you can write the answers to guide questions and conclusions to separate page of you lab
notebook.)
