Question 1
A chemist measures a solution's pH three times and gets values of 7.05, 7.04, and 7.06. Identify the accuracy and precision of the measurements, and calculate the average pH with its uncertainty.
💡 Hint: Think about how to calculate the mean and its uncertainty.
Question 2
You use a graduated cylinder that has a systematic error of consistently reading 2 mL higher than the true volume. If you measure a volume of 15.0 mL, what is your systematic error calculation?
💡 Hint: Identify the source of systematic error before calculating the true value.
