If your ability to read the volume on burette is $\pm$ 0.02 and you perform a titration where the initial reading is 0.05 $\pm$ 0.02 and the final is 17.88 $\pm$ 0.02. What is the absolute error and the percentage error in the volume delivered?

The initial reading of the burette is 0.15 (±0.02) mL and the final reading is 18.59 (±0.02) mL. Find the volume delivered from the burette. Also, find the absolute and relative uncertainty.

Assuming that each burette reading can be made to an accuracy of +/- 0.03 mL, calculate the percentage error (i.e. uncertainty) in the measurement of the volume of nitrogen. (Remember that the measurement of the volume of nitrogen requires that two burette readings be made.) Show calculations. Measurements: Vi = 49.90 Vf = 12.07

The volume delivered by a burette is the difference between the final and initial readings. If the uncertainty in each reading is ±0.02 mL, what is the uncertainty in the volume delivered?
