…for the cost?' There are several factors may have caused the 6.9 percentage error and 23.9% error in the experiment. One of the most feasible reasons would be improper collection of the fatty layer. Collection of this layer is quite difficult without collecting a small amount of the lower brown layer. Another cause of discrepancy may have been due to inaccurate measuring of beakers or samples, and stirring the mixture after 4 minutes of heating has passed.
