Explain How Would The Following Errors Affect Your Calculated Value Of R.
How would the following errors affect your calculated value of R? Explain your reasoning.
If some air accidentally entered the eudiometer when it was transferred to the tall graduated cylinder, then the value of R would increase. This is because in my manipulated gas law equation, R=PVnT, volume is on top, in which if it's value increases, then the value of R will also increase. And because volume is directly correlated by the how much gas is in the eudiometer, the more gas in the eudiometer, the bigger the volume and R value.
If some of the magnesium ribbon was left over after the reaction, then the value of R would increase. This is because having extra magnesium leftover means that it came in excess and there was more magnesium to react
