<span>Errors can come from various sources: the obtainer of the data, the measuring instrument, the setting and etc. Errors are what makes your measurement invalid and unreliable. There are two types of error which is called the systematic error and the random error. Each error has different sources. Words that were mentioned –invalid and unreliable are very important key aspects to determine that your measure is truly accurate and consistent. Some would recommend using the mean method, doing three trials in measuring and getting their mean, in response to this problem.</span>
Other group because they weren’t in the right group
The van't Hoff factor is the ratio between the amount of particles produced when a substance is dissolved and the amount of substance being dissolved. If ionization is 0 percent then it would mean that the substance do not dissociate into particles so the van't Hoff factor would be 1. However, when the percent ionization is 100%, then it fully dissociates into ions. For H2SO4 at 100% ionization, the vant hoff factor should be three, two hydrogen ions and one sulfate ion.
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
