From the sample volume and distances to the first and second equivalence points, calculate the molarities of hydrochloric and phosphoric acids in the sample. GIve uncertainties for the calculated molarities. How well do the replicated tritrations agree?
Find out the average mass of KHP required for the titration.
x̅ = 1/3*(x1 + x2 + x3) = 1/3*(0.2202 + 0.2081 + 0.2018) g = 0.2100 g.
Find out the standard deviation of the mass = √1/3[(x1 - x̅)2 + (x2 - x̅)2 + (x3 - x̅)2] = √1/3*[(0.2202 – 0.2100)2 + (0.2081 – 0.2100)2 + (0.2018 – 0.2100)2] g = 0.007635 g.
Find out the average volume of NaOH required for the titration.
V̅ = 1/3*(V1 + V2 + V3) = 1/3*(20.63 + 19.56 + 19.39) mL = 19.86 mL.
Find out the standard deviation of volume = √1/3*[(V1 - V̅)2 + (V2 - V̅)2 + (V3 - V̅)2] = √1/3*[(20.63 – 19.86)2 + (19.56 – 19.86)2 + (19.39 – 19.86)2] mL = 0.548878 mL.
Find out the average molarity = 1/3*(0.0523 + 0.0521 + 0.0510) M = 0.0518 M.
Use propagation of errors to find the relative uncertainty in molarity = √[(uncertainty in mass/mass)2 + (uncertainty in volume/volume)2] = √[(0.007635 g/0.2100 g)2 + (0.548878 mL/19.86 mL)2] = √(0.00208566) = 0.045669
Find out the uncertainty in the molarity of NaOH as (relative uncertainty)*(average molarity) = (0.045669)*(0.0518 M) = 0.0023656 M ≈ 0.00236 M.
Report the molarity of NaOH as 0.0518 0.00236 M (ans).
