Lab: Atomic Mass of Candium
The purpose of this lab was to test if the experimenters knew how to find and use data to find average atomic masses. For Candium, my partner and I found that it has an average atomic mass of 1.28 amu.
1. Another group found that Candium had an average atomic mass of 1.25 amu. This difference is most likely due to the possibility of them having a different sample then my group.
2. If sample sizes or were larger, I believe that the percent of error between groups would diminish due to having more atoms to analyze and therefor have a much more legitimate average than a smaller sample size would.
3. Almost any atom of Candium that had be massed would not equal the average. The average found, in this case, was not the value of any of the three isotopes: normal, peanut, or pretzel.
