Abstract

In the field of applied Analytical Chemistry, where the amount of material is continually being determined, it is valuable to know whether or not the particular method in use is both accurate and precise. Basic course work in college provided the author an appreciation of numerical facts, but there always remained unanswered questions as to how these numerical facts could be employed to best represent the correct results. The difficulties were resolved by this thesis which will show how the evaluation of numerical data was considered with reference to the method used in determining the amount of copper present in a prepared solution. Four methods of copper analysis were used: volumetric, colorimetric, gravimetric and electrolytic.
