You calculated a value of 0.54 s ± 0.06 s for the time constant from your graph.  If you used a 1MΩ resistor with a tolerance of 10%, what is the equivalent capacitance of your circuit (including the uncertainty)?

I got C = 5.4e-7 but I don't know how to calculate uncertainty.

You create a plot of voltage (in V) vs. time (in s) for an RC circuit as the capacitor is charging, where V=V_{0} \cdot \left(1- e^{ \frac{-\left(t\right)}{RC} } \right). You curve fit the data using the inverse exponent function Y=A \cdot \left(1- e^{-\left(Cx\right)} \right)+B and LoggerPro gives the following values for A, B, and C.

You are required to prepare standards for a calibration curve. All of the glassware and pipettes your method requires have a tolerance (RSD) of 0.15%. You start with a working solution of 0.17M analyte (assume there is no error in the concentration of the working solution). Remove 10.0 mL of that solution with a pipette, add it to a 100.0 mL volumetric flask and dilute it to the mark. Remove 25.0 mL of the newly prepared (diluted) standard, add to...
