Wilkes University Data Reduction Discussion

 

I’m trying to learn for my Chemistry class and I’m stuck. Can you help?

Write and submit a “Data Reduction” section and “Discussion” section for this experiment in the format of these sections for formal reports as detailed in the Appendix. In your “Discussion” section, pay specific attention to how your results would be affected if there was an incomplete burning of the magnesium and/or incomplete evaporation of excess water. In Discussion section: 1. Describe most significant finding – Did you achieve the goal of the experiment? What is it? Does it agree with true values? Discuss your results from the point of precision and accuracy. 2. Analyze your actual results in more detail. Is your %Mg higher or lower than true value? What could cause it? Is your %O higher or lower? What could cause it? 3. Based on your answers to the above questions, how the results could be improved? please see the attachments for the experiment and the results
