CHEM 121 LAB REPORT 2026 LAB
TECHNIQUES AND ANALYSIS MASTER
REVIEW
◉Why will aqueous ions adsorb to the surface of the precipitate.
Answer: Electrostatic attraction (Remove them to not add to weight)
◉Mass of sulfate ion. Answer: Mass of BaSO4 x molar mass of sulfate
ion/molar mass of BaSO4
◉% sulfate ion. Answer: (Mass of sulfate ion/mass of sample) x 100
◉Gravimetric factor. Answer: The ratio of molar masses
◉How to estimate the uncertain figure. Answer: Based on
graduations of the measuring device
◉Experimental error. Answer: Uncertainty in measurements due to
various factors
◉Standard deviation. Answer: The measure associated with the
uncertainty of the lab procedure
