A block of building material has been carefully machined to undergo tests. Its dimensions and mass are as follows: length = 0.050 ± 0.001 m breadth = 0.100 ± 0.001 m height = 0.040 ± 0.001 m mass = 0.560 ± 0.002 kg 

(a) From this data, calculate the density of this material. (b) Find the uncertainty in this value of density and express it as a percentage.

a) 2800 kg/m^3

b) 5.86% or +-160

A teacher gave their students an 8.00 gram tablet that contains magnesium nitrate, Mg(NO3)2 (molar mass = 148.32 g/mol). In order to determine the percentage of magnesium nitrate in the tablet, the students dissolved the tablet in 100. mL of distilled water and add excess sodium phosphate, Na3PO4. After a precipitate is formed, the students filter, wash, and dry the precipitate to completion. The precipitate is measured to have a mass of 3.524 grams. (Note: the precipitate will have a molar mass of 262.84 g/mol) 

e) Calculate the percentage of magnesium nitrate in the tablet.

A calibration curve was prepared using 7 standards and produced the following regression statistics:

  • Slope (m) = 4.10

  • Intercept (b) = 0.08

  • Standard deviation about regression (sᵧ) = 0.12

  • Mean concentration of standards (x̄) = 0.50

  • Σ(xᵢ − x̄)² = 0.280

  • Number of replicate measurements for unknown (k) = 3

An unknown sample gives an average signal (ȳᵤ) of 2.05.

A biologist is trying to determine the number of oak leaves on a certain species of oak tree. They surveyed 31 different trees and discovered that there is an average of 194,103 leaves on each tree with a standard deviation of 5,404 leaves.

A 0.6181 gram sample of M2CO3 was taken and dissolved in enough water to make 100.0 mL of solution A. A 10.00 mL aliquot of solution A was taken and 25.00 mL of 0.1842 M HCl added. 

M2CO3(aq) + 2HCl(aq) -> 2MCl(aq) + H2O(l) + CO2(g) 

It took 19.90 mL of 0.1473 M NaOH to titrate the resulting solution.

A solution containing 3.46 mM X (analyte) and 1.72 mM S (standard) gave peak areas of 3473 and 10,222, respectively, in a chromatographic analysis. Then 1.00 mL of 8.47 mM S was added to 5.00 mL of unknown X and the mixture was diluted to 10.0 mL. This solution gave peak areas of 5428 and 4431 for X and S, respectively. a) Calculate the response factor for the analyte. b) Find the concentration of X in the original unknown solution.
