4 0
Percent error is [(abs(experimental - actual))/(actual)] * 100
(38.0 - 40.0 ) / 40.0 = 2.0 / 40 =  0.05 
0.05 * 100 = 5
since there are 2 sigfigs, the answer is 5.0 %

I made the 2 positive since the absolute value of 38.0 - 40.0 was taken
There are only 2 sigfigs because of the subtraction of 38.0 - 40.0 gives 2.0, only 2 sigfigs

The label on a bottle shows the following information: C2H4O, molar mass 44.06 grams per mole. The formula must be:
Ivahew [28]
The formula can be empirical because the subscripts are reduced to the lowest fraction. 

To check if this formula is also the molecular formula we can check by obtaining the molar mass of the compound it is equal to the given molar mass. Thus 

12*2 + 4*1 + 16 = 44 g/mol

this is ~equal to the given molar mass thus the given equation can be both empirical and molecular.
