a-Thyee students erom your lab have to determine a boiling poind q an unknown sample that is supposed to be Butanone CBp 8o°c) Atehovgh all tvee students have condueted theiy experimert comectly dey came up with different values : ha-e184°C and n't a) Explain what could haue been tke source emoyig be to tre students was pure and students caried out dheir measuvemers PYopexly b) Rropose a solution to correol these diverging data ie you Eneu in advanceat the sample was butanone CBP-80°C) f You Enew in

Explanation / Answer

A. The sources of error are:-

(1). Air temperature

(2). Parallax Error

B. This can be corrected by carrying out the experiment in a chemically inert environment where temperature doesn't change the boiling point drastically.

Also we can correct the data by finding the standard deviation data.
