Determinate or systematic errors are those errors which can be avoided or whose magnitude can be determined in experiment. These errors are determinable and presumably can be either avoided or corrected. Systemic errors are classified into 4 categories as :
Operational and personal error :
Personal errors are errors for which the individual person who is
doing/conducting the experiment is responsible and are not
connected with the method or procedure. example : unable to judge
color change
When errors occur during operation of experiment, these are called
as operational error example : transfers of solution,
effervescence, incomplete drying, underweighting of precipitates,
overweighing of precipitates, and insufficient cooling of
precipitates.
These errors are physical in nature and occur when correct
operational techniques is not followed
Instrumental and Reagent errors :
These are errors which occur due to faulty instrument or reagent
containing impurities example : use of un-calibrated weights,
un-calibrated burette, pipette and measuring flasks in
experiment.
Errors of Method :
This type of error occurs due to method employed in experiment and
is difficult to correct.
Example : in gravimetric analysis, error occurs due to
Insolubility of precipitates, co-precipitates, post-precipitates,
decomposition, and volatilization.
In titration analysis, errors occur due to failure of reaction,
side reaction or difference between observed end point and the
stoichiometric equivalence point of a reaction.
Additive or proportional errors :
Additive error does not depend on constituent present in the
determination example : loss in weight of a crucible in which a
precipitate is ignited.
Proportional error depends on the amount of the constituent e.g.
impurities in standard compound.

Assessing Some Possible Determinate Errors 1. One source of determinate error in this experiment would be in determining the temperature of the gas in the buret. Based on the temperature of the reaction mixture in the flask before and after reaction, is the reaction exothermic or endothermie? Describe how this temperature change would affect the volume of the gas collected in the buret, and the calculated value of the gas constant. (1 mark) Explain how the calculated value of the...

Describe the three types of project risk. Under what situation is each of the types most relevant to the capital budgeting decision? Which type of risk is easiest to measure in practice? Describe the qualitative approach to risk assessment. Why does this approach, which does not rely on numerical data, work?

Three of the most common major types of organizational structure are functional, matrix, and project-oriented. Among the three major structures, there are similarities and differences in where authority resides, who controls the budget, how resources are allocated, and what roles and responsibilities the project manager and project team members assume. Each of these factors has the potential to influence project outcomes. Also, the skills a project manager needs are dependent on the organizational structure under which the project will be...
