Question

Calcuate the percent error of 10.98 g/cm3 and accepted value of 11.35 g/cm3

Answer 1

Hello Rebecca

 

                 | accepted value - experimental value |

%-Error =  -----------------------------------------------  x 100%

                            accepted value

 

                  | 11.35 - 10.98 |

            =  ---------------------  x 100%

                      11.35

 

            = (0.37 / 11.35) x 100%

 

            = 3.260%
