Lab 8.1: Percent compositon

Some source of error in the experiment may be from when chewing the gum. When chewing the gum you may be consuming not only the sugar but fragments of the gum of itself this may make your measurement for sugar higher, since more weight is missing from the gum. Another source of error in this experiment could be how long you  chew the gum before all of the sugar is dissolved. A person might think that all the sweetness is gone, and they weigh the gum, when really, some sugar is still may be left this would make the measurement for sugar less. The percentages of sugar is effected by this error becoming a higher percentage of sugar with more weight lost and a lower percentage of sugar with less weight loss.

Enrichment: Blogs help us look back on what we did in class sometimes clarifying the information we learned or review it and sometimes the assignment may be easy and quick. Gaining access to a computer may be not accessible to every student some may also like writing better then typing. Lastly enrichment i find is the most time consuming at times and least helpful. I find it sometimes unnecessary it may be more useful if it connected our chemistry topic to our everyday lives. Not enriching us further about other chemistry experiments hard to understand and not necessarily needed to be informed of.
