camille was excited when the new instrument showed up at the lab. she opened it up and started using it right away.
neville pulled out the bathroom scale to measure the mass of the chemicals he needed.
For Camille's situation:
Camille used a new instrument without checking if it was calibrated. The error type here is using an uncalibrated instrument as she didn't verify calibration before use.
Neville used a bathroom scale (which is for measuring weight, not mass accurately in a lab context and is an inappropriate instrument for measuring chemical mass) to measure chemical mass. So the error is the use of an incorrect or inappropriate instrument.
