Experimental Errors and Uncertainty No physical quantity can be measured with perfect certainty; there are always errors in any measurement. This means that if we measure some quantity and‚ then‚ repeat the measurement‚ we will almost certainly measure a different value the second time. How‚ then‚ can we know the “true” value of a physical quantity? The short answer is that we can’t. However‚ as we take greater care in our measurements and apply ever more refined experimental methods‚ we can reduce

takes place‚ ending one month of uncertainty and signaling the beginning of another. We Americans prepare our whole life against uncertainty‚ planning our entire life as an adolescent. We continue to fulfill that plan‚ keeping life stable and predictable. Keeping life certain. I have learned that life itself is a dive into uncertainty and no matter how far you try to run away from life‚ it will catch up ( as what has happened to my relatives)‚ so I have embrace uncertainty‚ and even though at times it

Experiment 1: Calorimetry Nadya Patrica E. Sauza‚ Jelica D. Estacio Institute of Chemistry‚ University of the Philippines‚ Diliman‚ Quezon City 1101 Philippines Results and Discussion Eight Styrofoam ball calorimeters were calibrated. Five milliliters of 1M hydrochloric acid (HCl) was reacted with 10 ml of 1M sodium hydroxide (NaOH) in each calorimeter. The temperature before and after the reaction were recorded; the change in temperature (∆T) was calculated by subtracting the initial temperature

Experiment 1 Calorimetry Chem 17 Univerity of the Philippines Diliman Discussion All chemical reactions involve energy. By understanding the behavior and connection of energy flow within a chemical reaction‚ we can understand and manipulate them to our advantage. The most common form of energy observed during chemical reactions is heat. The reaction may absorb (endothermic) or release (exothermic) heat‚ depending on the reacting substances. Calorimetry is the process of measuring the heat flow
