Write your complete solutions on yellow paper, round your answers to the appropriate number of
significant figures, and box the final answer. The deadline for submission is at the end of the class.
Note: You do not need to write your solutions for the items that can be derived from your
calculators.
1. Three students (Saerom, Hayoung, and Jiwon) are asked to determine the ppm Ca in a drinking
water sample by titration with EDTA. Each student performed five trials for the sample. The results in
ppm Ca are the following:
Saerom
Hayoung
Jiwon
a. Get the mean, SD, and % RSD of each student's results.
b. If the true value is 35 ppm, calculate the relative error of each student's results.
c. Comment on the precision and accuracy of each student's results. The maximum % RSD and
the relative error set by the lab is 5.0%.

Place one-eighth of a teaspoon (this weighs approximately 0.5 grams) of NaCl (table salt) in the graduated cylinder provided. Then add distilled water to that graduated cylinder until the level of the water reaches 45.00 mL. Mix thoroughly about 1 minute. Pour solution into a somewhat clear cup. Remember what this looks like for Procedure B. Questions: Is this a saturated solution? Why or why not? Take a picture and insert a picture (compress your image) of your solution here. Save this solution for Step 2. Calculations: Determine the Molarity of this solution using the formula M = g/MM/L. You know the grams (one-eighth of a teaspoon weighs approximately 0.5 grams), look up the Molar Mass of NaCl, and convert your mL to L to solve the problem.) Show your calculations for Molarity here.
