Large amounts of titanium metal are refined by reacting titanium(III) chloride solution with magnesium metal. To test this refining process, a student reacts 1.48 kg of magnesium metal with excess titanium(III) chloride solution. After the reaction was complete, the student had extracted 1.62 kg of titanium metal. From this data, calculate the percent error of this experiment. Hint: Write a balanced chemical reaction equation and calculate theoretical mass first. Do not show your work in the space provided. Record only your final answer with the correct number of significant digits and the proper units.

Question
Large amounts of titanium metal are refined
by reacting titanium(III) chloride solution with
magnesium metal. To test this refining
process, a student reacts 1.48 kg of
magnesium metal with excess titanium(III)
chloride solution. After the reaction was
complete, the student had extracted 1.62 kg
of titanium metal. From this data, calculate
the percent error of this experiment.
Hint: Write a balanced chemical reaction
equation and calculate theoretical mass first.
Do not show your work in the space provided.
Record only your final answer with the correct
number of significant digits and the proper
