Sodium Acetry Lab

Decent Essays

An error that occurred during within this lab experiment was not weighing the beaker at the same, tampering with the results. There was chaos within the first beaker it could not be be put on the plastic balance. Making a quick decision that was not in the procedure, which was wait 3 and half mins before weighing the becker instead of 1 min after boiling out water and the cardondixode gas out. this caused the lab experiment to had a later start time.The time of weighing the sodium acetate was effect within this error caused the results to be different. The procedure was changed last minute during the experiment to, wait 3 and half minutes until weighting the beaker, creating a change for the hot beaker to cool before touching the plastic …show more content…

With the other two trials were 0.18g, for the second trial and 0.17g for the third trail for Mass of Sodium Acetate After 3 ½ Minutes (g). These results demonstrated that the first trial had the most sodium acetate in it and it had more time to react with the oxygen in the air. Errors were involved with the first beaker being weighed. The beaker needed to cool down for more than 1 min ensuring that the plastic balance was no get damaged. In a 30 second of planning out a new time limit which was 3 and a half minutes. To find a base of a retort stand so the hot teacher could have a safe surface to cool on and there was a mix up with what kind of thongs were aborated to use to lift a hot beaker, later realizing the beaker tongs were safe to use to lift a beaker off a hot plate. The chaos of the errors of the first beaker also caused a delay of time making the sodium acetate react with the oxygen when air. This error within the lab was random, the delay of time only happened with the first beaker, the second baeker was controlled and correctly done with the time changed to 3 and a half minutes. Methods to minimize or remove this error was to ensure that all prober materials were out and ready to be used, therefore thinking ahead to get the maximum results for this lab
