Chemists describe the estimated degree of error in a measurement as the uncertainty of the measurement, and they are careful to report all measured values using only significant figures, numbers that describe the value without exaggerating the degree to which it is known to be accurate.

5 Δεκ 2022 · Chemistry. Error & Uncertainty. An error is the difference between a value or quantity obtained in an experiment and an accepted or literature value for an experiment. There are two types of errors in experiments, random errors and systematic errors. Random Errors.
29 Αυγ 2023 · Uncertainties in Measurements. All measurements have a degree of uncertainty regardless of precision and accuracy. This is caused by two factors, the limitation of the measuring instrument (systematic error) and the skill of the experimenter making the measurements (random error).
Define accuracy and precision; Distinguish exact and uncertain numbers; Correctly represent uncertainty in quantities using significant figures; Apply proper rounding rules to computed quantities
In physics, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle advises us that the momentum and position of an electron cannot be known both precisely and simultaneously.
Measured quantities have an associated uncertainty that is represented by the number of significant figures in the measurement. The uncertainty of a calculated value depends on the uncertainties in the values used in the calculation and is reflected in how the value is rounded.
In chemistry, significant figures are used to express the precision of measurements and inherently include uncertainty. Measurement uncertainty affects both accuracy (closeness to the true value) and precision (reproducibility) of data.
