Two students determine the percentage of lead in a sample as a laboratory exercise. The true percentage is 22.52%. The students’ results for three determinations are as follows: (1) 22.52, 22.48, 22.54 (2) 22.64, 22.58, 22.62
(a) Calculate the average percentage for each set of data and state which set is the more accurate based on the average. (b) Precision can be judged by examining the average of the deviations from the average value for that data set. (Calculate the average value for each data set; then calculate the average value of the absolute deviations of each measurement from the average.) Which set is more precise?
Since the true value is 22.52%, the first set of data is more accurate. Accuracy of the measurement can be estimated by comparing the average, or median value with true value. The deviations of measurements from the average value in each set of data are the same: 0.01%,
-0.03%, and 0.03%. Precision of two data sets is the same.

Experimental outcomes in chemistry depend on making sound observations, taking precise measurements and accurately recording them directly in to the laboratory notebook. All experiments and therefore the results will contain errors (experimental error), which can adversely affect the reliability of the experiment and the credibility of the scientist. Experimental error is reduced when students master experimental techniques and become aware of which measurements have the most impact on the experiment in terms of accuracy and precision. Accuracy is determined by comparing the true or actual value to an individual experimental value or the average of many experimental values. If the true value is not given, the average of all the experimental values is assumed to be true value and accuracy is determined by comparing the average to the individual experimental values. Precision is a determined by comparing how close all the experimental values are to each other. The following data was collected by students in your laboratory section. Decide which value to you will use to complete the experimental calculations. The amount of error in your final experimental result depends on your decision. Each student used a different balance and weighed the beaker 4 times. The balances they used in the laboratory read to a hundredth of a gram. The results are shown below were recorded by each individual. What additional information about the students, instruments, and the conditions which the data was collected do you need to better of the evaluate the reliability of the experimental data? Give 1 and briefly (60 words or less, using complete sentences) explain your answer. Which set of data is the most precise? Show all equations and calculations. Briefly (60 words or less, using complete sentences) explain your answer. What student measurements are the least accurate? Briefly (60 words or less, using complete sentences) suggest how this student could improve their experimental techniques. Show all equation and calculations

Can someone please help me answers these questions with those two graphs ?

Chromatography: Separating Mixtures

Introduction:

Magic marker inks are often mixtures of several compounds. Paper chromatography is a common method of separating various components of a mixture. After separation, you can observe the different colors that make up a particular color of magic marker ink.

You can also calculate a ratio Rf, which compares how far each compound traveled to how far each solvent (substance that dissolves another substance) traveled during the experiment.

Rf = Ds/Df

Ds = Distance traveled by the compound

Df = Distance traveled by the solvent

Materials:

coffee filter, tape, isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol), water, 3 different color magic markers (not permanent); 3 identical tall, narrow drinking glasses; metric ruler, 3 pencils

Pre-lab Questions:

List one extensive and one intensive property of marker ink.

Intensive: Amount Doesn't Matter

Extensive: Amount Matters

An extensive property of marker ink would be volume or ink.

An intensive property of marker ink would be the color of ink.

Define mixture.

A combination of two or more substances that are not chemically combine with one another.

Is tap water a heterogeneous or homogenous mixture? Explain your answer.

Tap water is a homogeneous mixture. I think this because I can see that it has uniform. It doesnât contain any different molecules as well.

Is isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) a heterogeneous or homogenous mixture? Explain your answer.

I believe rubbing alcohol is a homogeneous mixture. I think this because I can physically see that it has uniform. It also stays in the same phase.

Procedure:

1. Cut 3 strips of coffee filter. Be sure that the strips are much narrower and slightly taller than the drinking glasses.

2. In the center the strips, about 3 cm from one end, place a dot of the marker to be tested. The dots should be about 0.2 cm in diameter and dark enough to be clearly visible.

3. Place about 2 cm of water in each glass.

4. Tape the unmarked end of each strip to the center of a pencil so that the strip hangs down when the pencil is held horizontally.

5. Carefully insert the strips into the glasses, dotted end down. The dot must be above the water, and the sides of the coffee filters cannot touch the sides of the glasses.

6. Let the setup stand for 20 minutes. Follow procedure 8 as your set up stands.

7. Record your observations after 20 minutes in the table below. Measure Df (in cm) for the solvent. Measure the Ds (in cm) for each color that you see on the coffee filter (there may not be three). Calculate the Rf for each color using the equation in the Introduction section.

8. Repeat steps 1â7, except place about 2 cm of isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) in each glass instead of water.

9. Clean up your work area.

Solvent: isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol)

5. What evidence is there that marker ink is a mixture?

The marker ink is a mixture. The evidence is when the marker ink separated.

6. Each compound in the marker ink is represented by a color. Did one compound travel farther than the others? Explain why you think that this is the case.

Yes, I found out that the darker of the three colors traveled further.

7. Did the compounds travel farther in the water or the isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol)? Explain why you think that this is the case.

The compounds traveled faster in the water than the rubbing alcohol. I think the reason why is because water is smaller on a molecular level versus rubbing alcohol. So it is easier for the dyes to separate.

8. How could you improve upon the accuracy of your Rf measurements?

I feel that accuracy could be improved if we changed the scale measurement to millimeters (mm) instead of cm (centimeters).

Water traveled faster than the rubbing alcohol. I personally think it has to do with something like the size of the molecule like the smaller the molecule the easier it is.
