Question

For each of the following errors, tell whether your calculated molecular weight would be too high, too low, or unaffected.

a) unawares, you inadvertently spilled some solute(so it didn't make it into the test tube) after it was weighed out.

b) your thermometer is poorly calibrated and reads 0.3C lower than the actual temperature.

c) while mixing the solution you spilled some over the sides of the test tube. Assume the solution was well mixed before the spill occurred.
