Chapter 1
1. A standard of Pb2+ for a gunshot residue analysis using atomic absorption is prepared by first
IA
dissolving 1.0390 g dried Pb(NO3)2 in distilled water containing 1% nitric acid. The solution is
brought to volume in a class A 500.00-mL volumetric flask with an uncertainty of ±0.20 mL.
_A
The solution is then diluted 1:10 by taking 10.00 mL (via an Eppendorf pipet, tolerance ±1.3 μL)
and diluting this in 1% nitric acid to a final volume of 100.00 mL in a volumetric flask with a
tolerance of ±0.08 mL. The balance has an uncertainty of ±0.0002 g.
PP
An unusual feature of this question is that the molecular weight of Pb is listed as 207.2 g/mole
which must be considered in rounding. This point is made in the text as well.
RO
a. Using conventional rounding rules, calculate the concentration of the final solution of Pb2+, in
ppm.
The calculations should be done together, and the results rounded at the end. The only exception
VE
to this is with the formula weight for the lead nitrate, which is rounded separately as an
addition/subtraction:
Formula weight of Pb(NO3)2 = 207.2 + (2 x 14.01) + (2 x 3 x 16.) = 331.22
D?
Formula weight of Pb(NO3)2 = 207.2 + (2 x 14.00674) + (6 x 15.9994) = 331.2

, To obtain the concentration in ppm (mg/L), the molarity is calculated and then converted to the
final value. Note that the moles of Pb in the sample are equal to the moles of Pb(NO3)2 since
there is a 1:1 mole ratio of lead in lead nitrate:
1.0390g Pb ( NO3 )2 1 mole Pb g 1000 mg
207.2 Pb
Pb ( NO3 )2 1 mole Pb ( NO3 )2

= 1300.0 ppm
This solution is diluted by a factor of 1:10 (10.00 mL to 100.00 mL) to yield the final solution
concentration of 130.0 ppm.
IA
The result is rounded to four significant figures, the least number present in any of the measured
values.

c. Report the results as a range by the propagation-of-error method.
This is best done as one calculation to avoid rounding errors:
