9.9.7: Pre-lab Assignment

Pre-lab assignment

In preparation for the lab meeting on Error Analysis, please do the following*:

• Read this entire module
• Read D.A. Skoog, D.M. West, F.J. Holler and S.R. Crouch, Analytical Chemistry: An Introduction, 7th Ed., Saunders College Publishing, New York, 2000, Chapters 5-7.
• Read D.P. Shoemaker, C.W. Garland and J.W. Nibler, Experiments in Physical Chemistry, 6th Ed., McGraw Hill Co. Inc., New York, 1996, Chapter 2.
• Attempt (does not mean you must complete) all seven problems in the last section of this module; work should be done in a way that you can track your progress and submit your work in the form of a pdf. Submit all attempts in writing 24 hours prior to your scheduled laboratory meeting.

Note that the textbooks referenced in this module are available in the Perkins library and also in pdf format (Duke students click here).
We will meet in a classroom, thus lab attire is not necessary for this session.

*In addition to the general pre-lab assignment (linked below as a reminder), please do the above tasks. For this particular assignment, an experimental plan is unnecessary. However, it is good practice to reflect on the purpose of this assignment, so please do write a background/purpose statement. You should submit a pdf of your work on Canvas before the deadline (24 hours prior to the lab meeting).
