PLEASE ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS!!!!

1. To determine the accuracy of your average equilibrium constant why is it more meaningful to examine the percent error rather than the error itself? 2. What does the algebraic sign of your percent error tell you? 3. If one of the cuvettes was wet with water and not properly rinsed before you placed a sample for analysis in the Equilibrium samples (not the Standard Curve samples), how would that affect the equilibrium constant you would be reporting for that sample? Would it be too high, too low or unaffected? Explain. 4. If the formation of the iron(III) thiocyanate complex ion were to be exothermic, what would you expect the absorbance to do (increase, decrease or no effect) on a hotter day? Explain your answer carefully.

Explanation / Answer

1. Error will tell you how much error has come in your experiment. It will not give anything about how accurate you are? But percent error will tell how much accuracy you have obtained or how far or near you are from your accuracy. Like 2% error will tell that measurement is near accuracy while 20% error tells that measurement is little bit far away from accuracy. In case of only error, 2 unit or 20 unit error will tell how much error comes in your experiment, it will not tell how much accurate your measurement is?
