1. When conducting this experiment, some procedures call for heating the substance several times and recording the mass after each heating, continuing until the mass values are constant. Explain the purpose of this process and how it might reduce errors.
2. Your company currently uses a process with a similar cost of materials that has an average percent yield of 91 percent. If the average percent yield of this process is higher than that, this could save the company money. What is your recommendation to the company? Please support your recommendation using your data, calculations, and understanding of stoichiometry gathered from this lab.
