Are the words in the text preceded by the name of some substance? if we knew what substance, would it help? is the text part of a list of substances and their proportion by weight of some compound substance? if we knew what compound substance, would it help? | ||

Is 16.456% included because the amount is accurate to the 1st decimal point? 16.444% would not be included? | ||

Is the idea simply to give an example of how rounding is being used? | ||

Is this taking place in a chemistry lab, or are chemists or students mixing stuff together? To clarify: The reason for the "including..." is because it is close enough to the desired minimum? Is it because it cannot be measured with more precision? It so, is the reason because of the nature of the substance itself, or because they do not have better equipment. | ||

Is the reason for mixing helpful? Would it be normal to use 100% by weight? | ||

Is it relevant where the mixing is being done? Could it only be done in a certain place or a certain kind of room? | ||

Is some of the compound lost during the mixing? i.e. if at least 16.465% is required in the reaction, yet due to some reason, perhaps another chemical in the mixture reacts to the addition also, you need the extra .035% to account for this? Or perhaps, from the same line of thought, if the chemical required for the reaction is 99.788% pure, then if you used 16.5% by weight, you *would* get 16.465%? | ||

Or perhaps, from the same line of thought, if the chemical required for the reaction is 99.788% pure, then if you used 16.5% by weight, you *would* get 16.465%? ... as is this, but neither is actually the case here |
