Exercise 3
Questions
Fully discuss answers to the following questions. Yes or No responses are not sufficient. A. Was your calibration curve as linear as you expected?
B. Did you experience any “drift” of the resistance readings?
C. What is the equation of your best-fit line?
D. What commercial drink did you analyze?
E. Assuming that the same commercial drink was analyzed in both colorimetry methods, how did the results compare?
F. Which technique should give more accurate results?
G. What are some of the potential sources for errors in this experiment
