If you have dried your sample properly, the difference should be within 0.1 g. Use the lower mass value for your calculations.If your values are not within 0.1g of each other, continue drying until two such values are obtained.  Disposal:The sand can be tossed in the trash and the salt rinsed into the sink.Since there were only two components in the mixture, the percent recovered should equal 100. Any deviation from 100 is an indication of the accuracy of your work.You will write a lab report for this lab. Your lab report should include:Abstract: State the objective of the lab, the means by which this objective was accomplished and the results obtained. Background: Explain what a mixture is and how the components of a mixture can be separated. Outline the process used to separate this mixtureData: Reproduce the data table below and incorporate it into your lab report. Analysis: Show the calculations needed to arrive at the percent recovery, the percent sand and the percent salt in your mixture. Ask your instructor for the actual mixture composition and report your percent error for both the percent salt and the percent sand. Include a brief summary paragraph of the discussion questions at the end of your lab.Conclusion: Restate your results. If your results deviated from those expected explain what specific errors might have occurred. Your explanation must be aligned with your results. Staple to the back of your report the hand written data sheet completed in lab and answers to the questions. Name______________________________ UNKNOWN NUMBER :_____________Data Table:*Please show any calculations needed for #’s 8 – 14 below this table.Calculations (make sure to assign a number to your calculations that corresponds to the data table above)Analysis Questions: (make sure to include your responses to the questions below in your lab report, in the discussion section of your lab report)Many students do not recover 100% of the original mixture.Describe at least two possible problems that could cause less than 100% recovery of the mixture
