Lab 2 Tutorial Quiz (Station C)

Point out 2 major mistakes in the following experiment (1
mark), and clearly explain how each mistake can result in
biased or misleading results (2 marks):
The researchers prepared two test tubes with 2mL of 0.3M
Urea solution in each tube. In the treatment tube, they added
0.01 mL of 0.3M HCl (to make it more acidic). In the control
tube, they added 0.01mL of distilled water. They then added
one drop of bovine blood to each tube simultaneously, shook
them immediately, and timed how long it took for the bold
text placed behind the tubes to be visible through the mixture.
