IB skill practice

Use advanced uncertainty propagation in chemistry data

Paper 1, Paper 2 5 marks Difficulty 5

Dominant uncertainty source

A propagated-uncertainty table in a school extension laboratory shows one instrument contributes 8% while other sources contribute 1% and 2%. Identify the best improvement target. Enter the answer and choose the interpretation that matches the HL chemistry evidence.

Worked practice: chemistry evidence and answer

Use the chemical evidence first, then enter the result and interpretation that match it.
