Problems encountered during the titration procedure and possible improvements that could lead to more reliable and valid outcomes.
Throughout the titration experiment many problems were encountered as well as other errors were found that could have possibly occurred. These problems or errors will impact my % accuracy and therefore the quality of my results. Ideally no problems would occur, and I would be able to complete the experiment without any errors occurring which would therefore give me a perfect result. I tried to work with total precision and accuracy however my results still had many errors that occurred.
The first major error that could have occurred was when making our standard solution, this would be used to find out the …show more content…
Throughout the colorimetry experiment many problems were encountered as well as other errors were found that could have possibly occurred. These problems or errors will impact my % accuracy and therefore the quality of my results. Ideally no problems would occur, and I would be able to complete the experiment without any errors occurring which would therefore give me a perfect result. I tried to work with total precision and accuracy however my results still had many errors that occurred.
The first major error that was encountered was that the colorimeter may not have been set up properly and the colorimeter probe may not be working correctly. The colorimeter needs to be calibrated as well as the colorimeter probe needs to be working properly to ensure that the results are valid. If an uncalibrated colorimeter was used, then the results would turn out to be invalid and imprecise as well as if the probe was not working properly then the results may turn out to be inaccurate compared to a probe that was working well. To improve this, it would be ideal to ensure that the colorimeter is calibrated which will create more accurate
