Calculations
1. Calculate the mass % HCl in each sample. Show one sample calculation for one
trial. The sample calculation must include the equation used, all numbers must have a
unit and the final answer must be presented with the appropriate number of significant
digits.
/5

2. Create a summary table that shows the mass% HCl for all three trials.
/5

3. Calculate the mean mass % HCl.

/2

4. Calculate the standard deviation for this analysis. Report the mean and standard
deviation.
/7

5. Using your mean and standard deviation, calculate your data interval.
/3

6. Calculate the % relative error between your value of the mean mass % HCl and the
mass % HCl stated on the product label by the manufacturer (true value).

Questions

1. For each titration, why is it important to titrate each solution to the same colour
intensity?

2. What was the value for the % relative error? How can you increase the accuracy of
your results?
/5

3. Is the manufacturer’s mass % in your data interval? How can you increase the
precision of your results?
/5

4. Explain, why it is necessary to cap the buret and minimize CO2 absorption from air by
the NaOH solution. How would this affect your results?

Explain your answer by completing this chemical equation: NaOH(aq) + CO2(g) 
