Answer:

Low value for copper recovery

Explanation:

The percentage recovery is obtained from;

Percent recovery = amount of substance you actually collected / amount of substance you were supposed to collect × 100

Note that the fact that some of the copper nitrate solution splashed out of the beaker means that some amount copper has been lost from the system. This loss of copper leads to a lower value of copper recovered from solution.
