loss through transfer definitely isnt one..LOL...well depends what the procedure is all about, side reactions that could have taken place. There;s more info needed than just the results. Like protocol and equation of the reaction that takes place.

What is the experiment? NH4Cl is ammonium chloride, a common ingredient in chemical laboratories. NaCl is table salt; also commonly found in labs and SiO2 is silicon oxide. There is no "error" that you have shown.
Now your explanation has 105% in total but you need to show the calculations (you assume they are correct in your initial question)

I have no clue! I never even took chemistry in high school anyway!
