Stoichiometry and the Mole Flashcards
What is an Experimental Error?
The Experimental error is the uncertainty obtained in a measurement
What are Systematic Errors?
Systematic errors arise from flaws in equipment or investigation design.
Reproducible with precision
Can be identified and corrected
Examples of Systematic Errors?
Typical causes of systematic error include
Observational error
Imperfect instrument calibration
Environmental interference.
Forgetting to tare or zero a balance produces mass measurements that are always “off” by the same amount
What are Random Errors?
Random errors are errors that cannot be avoided and are always present
They Arise from variations in how a student or students record a measurement
How to detect Systematic Errors?
- Analyse samples of known composition
- Analyse ‘blank’ samples and verify that the instrument will give a zero result
- Obtain results for a sample using multiple instruments to verify the accuracy of the instrument
