PROBLEM SET 1-ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY

1. Name two of the three sources of error typically encountered in analytical chemistry
investigations.

2. Explain in the space provided the difference between constant and proportional error.

3. What type of error (determinate or indeterminate) is typically biased or unidirectional?

4. Explain in the space provided why indeterminate error cannot be corrected.

5. What are two sources of determinate method errors?

6. The standard deviation formula, represented by the term sigma (), “fixes” the data so that the
range that it describes accounts for 68.3% of the measurements taken. True or false (circle the
correct answer).

7. How many Na+ ions are contained in 5.34 mole of Na3PO4 (MW=163.945 g/mol) given that 1
mole contains 6.02 x 1023 ions/molecules)?

8. Find the number of millimoles of solute in 750 mL of 0.0555 M KSCN.

9. What is the mass in milligrams of 500 mmol of MgO (MW=40.30 g/mol)?

10. What is the mass in milligrams of solute in 6.75 mL of 0.0619 M KNO 3 (MW=101.10
g/mol)?

11. A 12.5% (w/w) NiCl2 (MW=129.61 g/mole) solution has a density of 1.149 g/mL. Calculate
a. The molar concentration of NiCl2 in this solution.
b. The molar Cl- concentration of this solution.
c. The mass in grams of NiCl2 contained in each liter of this solution
12. Convert 8.43 x 105 mol to mmol (show your work).

(show your work).
15. Ten milliliters of a 0.1123 M solution of HCl is diluted in a 100.0 mL volumetric flask. A
solution containing sodium hydroxide (MW=40.00 g/mol) requires 5.76 mL of the dilute HCl for
neutralization. How many milligrams of NaOH are in the sodium hydroxide solution?

16. Show the overall chemical equation that describes the reaction between sodium carbonate and
hydrochloric acid in aqueous solution.

17. What indicator would be used to indicate end point for the titration in question # 16? Explain
in one sentence why the end point indicator used in question #16 would not be the indicator used
for the reaction in question #14.
