Our % deviation was 0.990%, meaning our answers between each trial was pretty close to the average. Since we got one really good titration, the % deviation means we were really close to being exact and getting a light pink color, within a few hundreths of a milliliter. Some possible errors may include inaccurate recording of the NaOH solution in the buret, NaOH stick to the beaker or tip of the buret, we lost some KHP when transferring from the weight paper to the flask, and improperly cleaned flasks between trials. If I did it again, I would pay more attention to how long it takes for it to turn clear again to get a more accurate titration, be more careful so that everything measured gets mixed, and spending more time reading the buret and measuring out the reactants.
