Molar Mass of Unknown Acid Lab
This was a very interesting yet very frustrating lab. It was pretty much the old lab but with a new acid that we had to find the molar mass of. Our last lab went smoothly so I thought this one would go by quick too. Boy was I wrong. The first time I titrated with my partner, we got a 16% error. We were shocked. We saved some time as we didn't have to re-standardize, but we still weren't fast enough to do 2 trials on the first day. We tried again the next day and got a 17% error. We kind of felt terrible. We decided to give it a 3rd try, and we hit jackpot. We got a 7% error. I was really happy. My partner, clearly wasn't satisfied. She wanted a less percent error. I got mad and decided to turn in the note-card alone while she took the test. Hehe. Now she can't change it. Oh well, I guess this lab was pretty fun.

Although I did not experience the same frustration as you, I can see why you were so frustrated with your percent error at first. Good job getting it down though!
