A balance always reads 0.1g higher. If this balance is used in Gas Law lab to determine
the molar mass of butane, how will this systematic error affect the result? - Answer-
Since the mass difference is used, this systematic error will be canceled in the
subtraction. As a result, it should not affect the experimental result.
