The stopper is not fitted on the flask quickly.

Explanation:

The reaction has to do with a gas. The predicted value of the slope is 1. The value of slope obtained from the experiment varies slightly from the predicted value of 1. This discrepancy may be caused by not fitting the stopper on the flask quickly enough. This means that some gas may still be left in the flask leading a discrepancy in the slope obtained.
