Question

Based upon the percent yield you calculated, what is one source of error, and the resulting of that error in your experiment.

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is "Choice a".

Explanation:

In the given question, through the basis of their determined percentage yield, a smaller copper increase in value and less copper has been lost during decanting, but now this mistake in your experiment was the cause of confusion, and the wrong choice can be defined as follows:

• In point b, it is wrong because A few other solids were not lost during decanting, resulting in a higher recovery of copper as well as a boost in the percentage yield
• In point c, it is wrong because whenever the vapor bath was dried, the specimen did run dry totally, which did result in such a heavier density of copper and a larger percentage of the yield.
• In point d, it is wrong because whenever the vapor bath was dried, the sample was fully dried, which also resulted in much less adhesive weight and a much less percentage of the yield.
