A source of error is any factor that may affect the outcome of an experiment. There are countless conceivable sources of error in any experiment; you want to focus on the factors that matter most. Identify each source of error specifically and then explain how that source of error would have affected the results. Keep in mind that an "error" to a scientist does not mean "mistake"; it more closely means "uncertainty".
Many students are tempted to say "human error", but this term is vague and lazy; any decent teacher will not accept it. Instead, think about specific things that happened during the lab exercise where the end results may have been affected.
To give an example one might find in a bio lab: perhaps a water bath's temperature was not monitored very carefully and you found that an enzyme's activity was greater than you expected. In that case, you could write something like,
"The temperature of the water bath during this exercise was not monitored carefully. It is possible that it was warmer or cooler than intended, and this would have affected the enzyme activity accordingly. The fact that our enzyme activity was found to be higher than expected leads me to believe that perhaps the water bath was too warm."

In reference to the diagram attached </h3><h3>
Answer:</h3>
one battery, two switches, and three light bulbs
Explanation:
- A circuit is an arrangement that shows the flow of electrons from a current source such as a battery.
- The diagram shows a circuit that contains one battery, two switches, and three light bulbs.
- The switches serves to close the circuit when necessary.
- The battery supplies current to the circuit.
- The light bulbs are used for lighting.
This is a incomplete question. The complete question is:
It takes 348 kJ/mol to break a carbon-carbon single bond. Calculate the maximum wavelength of light for which a carbon-carbon single bond could be broken by absorbing a single photon. Round your answer to correct number of significant digits
Answer: 344 nm
Explanation:
E= energy = 348kJ= 348000 J (1kJ=1000J)
N = avogadro's number = 
h = Planck's constant = 
c = speed of light = 
Thus the maximum wavelength of light for which a carbon-carbon single bond could be broken by absorbing a single photon is 344 nm
Answer:
12.33 cal/sec
Explanation:
As we know,
1 Kcal = 1000 cal
So,
0.74 Kcal = X cal
Solving for X,
X = (0.74 Kcal × 1000 cal) ÷ 1 Kcal
X = 740 cal
Also we know that,
1 Minute = 60 Seconds
Therefore, in order to derive cal/sec unit replace 0.74 Kcal by 740 cal and 1 min by 60 sec in given unit as,
= 740 cal / 60 sec
= 12.33 cal/sec
Answer:
6 oxygen atoms
Explanation:
Step 1: Given data
Number of dinitrogen monoxide molecules (N₂O): 6
Number of oxygen atoms (O): ?
Step 2: Calculate the appropriate ratio
The ratio of dinitrogen monoxide molecules to oxygen atoms is 1:1.
Step 3: Use the ratio to calculate the number of oxygen atoms
6 molecule N₂O × (1 atom O/1 molecule N₂O): 6 atom O
