Low Results Lab Report

The experiment produced low results. The negative error was assumed to be caused by an error in the calibrating of the scale. During this lab the scale was not properly calibrated, therefore the data recorded and calculated using the mass values obtained by the scale was mistaken. This error could lead to the incorrect mass of the precipitate, the crucible and any other mass weight during the lab, which in turn derailed all the calculations. Another reason the results could be lower than the real value was so yield of precipitate occurs when soluble CIO3- was formed as the Cl- ions were lost through the filtration apparatus when the degeneration of the silver chloride occurs, with extra Ag+. Also the photodecomposition of the AgCl precipitate
