Question

When measuring the volumes of Fe(NO3)3 and NaSCN solutions in this experiment, the student mistakenly used a graduated cylinder instead of volumtetric pipets, After collecting all of the data, the student realized he'd used the wrong piece of equipment, but he didn't redo the experiment. Also, he later realized that he had consistenly misread the graduated cylinder and had thus transferred volumes that were actually 5% lower that the recorded volumes. Incoportate these measurement errors into the data for one of your equilibrium solutions, and recompute Keq for that solution. Determine whether the student's measurements errors would cause each of the following, as recalculated by you, to be higher than, lower than, or identical to the value you originally determinded. Briefly explain.

Explanation / Answer

Solution :-

The actual volume of the solution is 5% less than the volume of the solution student used for the calculation.

Therefore the actual volume is lower than volume used means the concnetrations would be higher than already used in the calculation.

Therefore the students error would be higher than the actual when we do the recalculations.
