AP Lab #2 Questions: Complete these questions on your lab, due Tuesday.
1. Were your points good? Explain.
2. Calculate your percent error for your leftover product.
3. What could cause the weight of your leftover product to be larger than theoretically possible? Smaller?
4. How much product should be produced from the reaction if 5.00 grams of your initial solid were used?
Notes: Sodium Carbonate mixed with vinegar. Weight before and after gives mass of CO2 lost. Final product was heated, dried, and leftover sodium acetate is weighed and analyzed.
