Propagation of Uncertainty and Titrations

After completing this activity, students will be able to:

  • Determine an unknown quantity using titration data.
  • Propagate uncertainty for common mathematical operations including:
    • Addition/subtractions
    • Multiplication/division
  • Perform the appropriate propagation of uncertainty in the context of volumetric chemical analysis.
  • Use error analysis to determine the least accurate part of an analytical procedure.
