A student is preparing a solution of sucrose at a specific concentration. They are doing this by weighing out sucrose on a scale, placing it in a volumetric flask, dissolving it in water, and then diluting it up to the mark on the volumetric flask with water. How would the experimental (actual) molar concentration for C12H22O11 differ from the calculated concentration ( higher, lower, or the same) given the following scenarios? Explain.
