According to that total consumed water was 0,167g/min total H2 production was
0.018g/min and total O2 production was 0.145g/min. Conservation of mass was validated
within a 2% error for the system.
Net mass flow must be zero to say that there is no accumulation or leakage.
Though, it was calculated that there was a little amount of positive net flow on electrolyzer.
This might be due to experimental measurement errors such as chronometer timing on
oxygen output or reading of volume from the graduated cylinder.
