What are Common Sources of Error in Catalytic Research?
1. Instrumental Errors: Variability in the performance of analytical instruments like gas chromatographs, mass spectrometers, and spectrophotometers can introduce errors. 2. Sample Preparation Errors: Inconsistencies in the preparation of catalytic samples, such as variations in particle size or surface area, can affect the reproducibility of results. 3. Environmental Factors: Changes in temperature, pressure, and humidity can impact the catalytic activity and measurement accuracy. 4. Human Errors: Mistakes in data recording, calculation, or procedural execution can lead to significant deviations in results.
