Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

An experiment yields a measurement believed to be 20 g, but the balance was uncalibrated, causing a systematic error resulting in an actual weight of 19.5 g. Calculate the percentage error between the expected and actual weight.

💡 Hint: Compare the values and remember to use the absolute value.

Question 2

You conducted an experiment with a concentration result of 0.50 mol/L and a percentage uncertainty of 10%. Another lab has a known value of 0.45 mol/L. Is your measurement reliable, or does it suggest a systematic error?

💡 Hint: Remember to compare the percentage uncertainty with the calculated percentage error.
