This question is related to determining the conc. of vinegar by titration.

It says: " Provide a quantitative assessment of the errors in the titration procedure "

How do I like calculate the error because it is "quantitative" :p

How many dp are you working your answer to?
You can also say it's +/- 1ml since each drop is supposedly calibrated to that measurement (or what you need for HSC) anyway

burettes are accurate to +/-0.05mL, so a range of 0.1mL

Alkenes, remember how titration is a really delicate prac, where a single drop can push it into the end point or sometimes that one drop is too much, basically what he means is that within the number u record say 25.1ml it can be 25.05 or 25.15
Hope that clears up the confusion
