Comparing The Sarsons And Pickling Vinegar

Decent Essays
The percentage of uncertainty evaluates my data by showing how accurate my results are. The Sarsons and Pickling vinegar I titrated were extremely accurate as there was 0.04% and 0.05%of uncertainty, whereas the ASDA vinegar I titrated was 0.20% uncertainty; this was the highest percentage of uncertainty which shows that this vinegar is the most unreliable in order to compare to the results of the market stall vinegar titration. Conclusion:
In conclusion trading standards believe that the market stall suspect vinegar has been watered down. The concentrations present this as the standard vinegars show a similar concentration; Sarsons has the molarity of 0.88 mol dm-3, which is 5.3% in percentage concentration; ASDA has the molarity of 0.81

    One thing that definitely went wrong in the lab was that we had to round about two of our measurements and the reason being was that they were exact. To exemplify, when we were reading the volume for the finishing measurement of the base for trial three, we got exactly 45.00 mL. The only problem was that, we had didn’t really have the two significant decimal numbers. Hence, we rounded our volume to 45.01 mL. Also, we got exactly 23.00 mL for our finishing volume of the acid for trial three. Therefore, once again we rounded it to 23.02mL in order to get at least two significant decimal numbers.…

    The standard deviation of mass lost for my personal data was approximately 25%. This shows me that there was a low amount of errors made in measurements. The uncertainty in the class is high which opposes my percentage of uncertainty. Some major sources of determinate error are incorrectly computing the recorded data into Excel.…

    Antiseptic Lab Report

    Two ways this experiments data could be considered more reliable is that, there were many runs of the experiment done all with the same parameters and the results are an average of all of the groups’ data. Another reason would that each group could have done the experiment slightly differently and gotten a different result thus showing what changing a variable can do to change the results. One region of bias in this experiment would be that one of the antiseptics used was the Purell hand sanitizer, which is intended to be used on ones hands instead of the face, so it would work less effectively than intended. Two experimental errors our group could have made would be: The agar could have been broken thus preventing bacteria from growing in the gash made. Or our group could have transferred more bacteria to one of the quadrants and not equaled the amount of bacteria in the other quadrants of the Petri…

    Visual comparison of the available solid and aqueous compounds to the unknown was done first so as to eliminate unnecessary testing. A 30.0 g/mL solution of the unknown was made in a beaker by dissolving 1.000 g of the unknown in 30.0 mL of distilled water. Before weighing out 1.000 g of the unknown, the scale was zeroed out with a piece of weighing paper (square cut-out of normal paper) on it. Using a scoopula, 1.000 g was the compound was carefully placed on the weighing paper and measured to exactly 1.000 g. These same measurements and procedures were used when solutions of calcium chloride and nitric acid were created using separate beakers. Portions of each solution were then poured into test tubes (exact measurements were not necessary for this step).…

    I took 12 pennies and then divided those pennies up into 4 equal groups and then I created three solutions for my project which are: A toothpaste solution, bleach solution vinegar and salt solution, and vinegar/baking soda solution My hypothesis is that the salt and vinegar solution is going to win because vinegar is a liquid that is produced from the fermentation of ethanol into acetic acid . vinegar consists of acetic acid(CH3COOH, water and trace amounts of other chemicals which may include flavorings. The concentration of the acetic acid is variable.…

    When comparing the percent errors, you can clearly see from the summary table that the graphical analysis is closer to the mathematical analysis, meaning that it is closer to accurate than the experimental analysis. In the third problem the magnitude of the measured result was way off from the magnitude calculated in the mathematical analysis. Therefore, the more accurate method of adding and subtracting vectors is the graphical analysis when you cannot use the mathematical method.…

    An experiment was carried out to determine the percent of 100 percent cranberry juice in cranberry apple juice. This experiment is significant in everyday chemistry because it is the job of many chemists, in regulatory agencies such as the FDA, to quantitatively determine if the ingredients listed on the label of a substance are actually in that substance. Cranberry juice has particular qualities that are not found in other juices. The quality studied in this experiment was color. Cranberry apple juice is a mixture, but, because it is said to contain cranberry juice, it should also have some of the same unique identifying quality, color, that cranberry juice has.…

    Introduction The purpose of this experiment was to understand acid-catalyzed hydration of alkenes through the formation of exo-norborneol from the reaction of Norborene with acid and the excess of water. Acid-catalyzed hydration is useful in removing double and triple bonds; an unsaturated compound becomes reduced to a saturated compound in the presence of the acid catalyst, or water for this experiment. Hydration of alkenes is the result of acid-catalyzed addition of water to a carbon-carbon double bond. This leads to the formation of an alcohol.…

    When solving for the percent of acetic acid present in vinegar the end result of 3.57% was not far off from the standard 4%. The small error could be a result of error in experiment or an actual failure of the acid to meet the federal standard. An example of error in experimentation is while the solution is titrated completely, the flask being swirled is removed from underneath the buret and a drop or two of NaOH can sneak out before the valve is closed. Those few missed drops as well as excess NaOH in titration can affect the accuracy of the results. Human error is almost always a factor for example when measuring any values without digital assistance leaves room for the naked eye to make mistakes.…
