picking a trial

Postby Clarissa Nava 3H » Sun Mar 17, 2019 12:02 am

when picking a trial to plug into to solve for values does it matter which one we choose?

It doesnt really matter but you can make calculations a little bit easier by choosing trials with simpler numbers.

We can pick any trial and should end up with the correct result

It does not matter which trial is used, they will all give you the correct value.

You should end up with the same result, i guess we just always try to pick out the easiest choice

What makes it the easiest choice, like how do you know

Sometimes some concentrations are easier to work with than others. For example, say trial 2 is just double trial 1 while the third trial is some random number. You would still get the same answer in the end, but it's faster and easier to pick trials that "get along" better.

Hi! You should end up with the same results no matter what experiment you choose. I usually just pick the one that seems the easiest. Hope this helps!

It does not matter; however, I like to try to use trials in which only one reactant concentration is being changed (if possible) to make calculations easier.

any trial should work out fine.

It doesn't really matter which set of experimental data you use as long as you use the data from the same set the whole time while solving.

You can pick any trial, however some concentrations are more tangible to work with than others. Its really up to you.
