You are using 115% PPA and after a couple of minutes in the boiling water bath, you observe a distinct amber color in your flask. After your benchmate assembles their flask in the same water bath, you notice that your flask has become a cloudy white. Your benchmate's flask remains clear and changes to amber at a time comparable to others using 105% PPA. Your flask remains white for the duration of the heating process. What might have happened to your reaction? What evidencce supports your assumption? How would you expect it to affect your results, and why?
