Explain what specific error in calculating your Ksp value would occur ( Ksp being too high or too low), compared to the situation in which no errors occur. Remember that the student doesn't know these errors occurred. When you answer the questions, consider how the situation affects the calculation of Ksp.

1) the buret was not conditioned ( it still had water in it) when you add HCl.

2) there was Ca(OH)2 solid (that was not filtered off) in your solution to be titrated.

3) You measured 24.00 mL of Ca(OH)2 instead of 25.00 mL.

4) The HCl concentration was actually lower than the reported molarity on the bottle.
