Homework Statement



1. If a pipette is more accurate than a buret, why or why not.

Is it because a pipette is narrower, allowing for more accurate measurement?

2. What procedural differences between recommended practice and student usage do you think would result in a student's data not supporting this statement?

If a student was careless with their measurement, obviously this would have an effect, but what else could be a factor?
