Question
A student $10-\mathrm{mL}$ pipet has an uncertainty of $\pm 0.1 \mathrm{~mL}$ Express the volume of the pipet as an ordinary number.
Step 1
1 \mathrm{~mL}$. This means the volume could be anywhere from $10 - 0.1 = 9.9 \mathrm{~mL}$ to $10 + 0.1 = 10.1 \mathrm{~mL}$. Show more…

A Class A 10-mL pipet has an uncertainty of $\pm 0.01 \mathrm{~mL}$. Express the volume of the pipet as an ordinary number.
A student measures a volume of 25 mL using a volumetric pipette. Write this data with the correct number of significant digits and the appropriate uncertainty. (Note: Consult Appendix I of the Guide des Laboratoires de Chimie for the uncertainties of volumetric instruments) Reply: 25 mL
When measuring the uncertainty in a 10.00 mL pipet, it was found that the calculated volume of distilled water is 10.041 mL. Calculate the percentage error in volume.
