1and 2

Answer 1

1)

a)

If Too much dry ice was added to the flask. It will make more CO2 gas and the volume will be higher than calculated. Then you will have an incorrect value.

b)

If the student use a stopper with less mass than the original stopper the increase in CO2 gas will not take place and the mass gained would not be correct, hence there was loss of mass from the less mass of stopper.

Therefore you will have an incorrect larger value for CO2 at the end of the experiment because mass of stopper will be less making the gain of the larger appear CO2 gas
