Since evaporation involved the removal of water in a substance, the residue appeared dry and powdery. According to
Barke et al. (2009) as cited in University of Waterloo (n.d), a percentage recovery greater than 100% in evaporation
indicates that the product could contain unreacted reactant or had absorbed water or other solvent during the process. In
this case, the sodium chloride might contain some water resulting to incomplete evaporation.
