Question

What is the percent error for the experiment if the actual density is

2.49g/mL but the experimental value is 1.47 g/mL?

Answer 1

The answer is 40.96%

Step-by-step explanation:

The percentage error of a certain measurement can be found by using the formula

`P(\%) = (error)/(actual \: \: number) * 100\% \\`

From the question

actual density = 2.49g/mL

error = 2.49 - 1.47 = 1.02

We have

`p(\%) = (1.02)/(2.49) * 100 \\ = 40.96385542...`

We have the final answer as

40.96 %
