Show sample calculation:

Solve for: Mass (g) of Distilled H2O

Formula: Mass (g) of beaker plus Distilled H2O – Mass(g) of empty beaker = Mass(g)
of Distilled H2O

53.7141 – 29.0361 = 24. 678

53.7102 – 29.0358 = 24.6744
53.7070 – 29.0373 = 24.6697
Qualitative and Quantitative Chemical Analysis
Analytical Chemistry Laboratory Term 3, AY2022–2023

Solve for: Density of Distilled Water

Formula: Mass/Volume = Density

24.678/25.00 = 0.98712
24.6744/25.00 = 0.98698
24.6697/25.00 = 0.98679

Solve for: Average Density of Distilled Water

Formula: M = sum of terms/number of terms

0.98712 + 0.98698 + 0.98679

3

= 0.986963 (Average Density of Distilled Water)

Solve for: Absolute Error

Formula: Ae = True value – Measure value

0.98712 - 0.997542 = 0.010422

0.98698 - 0.997542 = 0.010566
0.98679 - 0.997542 = 0.010754

Solve for: Relative Error

Formula: Re = Absolute Error / True Value x 100

0.010422 / 0.986963 = 1.05 %

0.010566 / 0.986963 = 1.07%
0.010754 / 0.986963 = 1.08%
