2. Will the actual experimentally-determined dilution solution concentration be higher, lower, or the same
as the theoretical concentration for the following scenarios? Briefly explain your reasoning.
a.
The student measures the mass of salt needed to make a 0.0750 M solution into a tared, 100 mL
beaker and then records the mass onto their Data Sheet. After removing the beaker, the student
notices that some of the salt landed directly on the balance pan instead of in the beaker. The
student cleans off the pan and uses the measurement they originally recorded.
