Answer:

B. 6.6%

Explanation:

The percentage error of a measurement can be calculated using the formula;

Percent error = (experimental value - accepted value / accepted value) × 100

In this question, the calibrated 250.0 gram mass is the accepted value while the weighed mass of 266.5 g is the experimental or measured value.

Hence, the percentage error can be calculated thus;

Percent error = (266.5-250.0/250.0) × 100

Percent error = 16.5/250 × 100

Percent error = 0.066 × 100

Percent error = 6.6%

<span>A particular frost-free refrigerator uses about 710kWh of electrical energy per year. You are to express this amount of energy in J, kJ, & Calories. 

1 year (365 days / 1 year)(24 hours / 1 day)(3600s / 1h) = 31,536,000s

710 kWh/yr (1 yr) = 710 kWh
710 x 10^3 Wh = </span>710 x 10^3(J/s)(31,536,000s)<span> = 2.24 x 10^13 J
</span>2.24 x 10^13 J = 2.24 x 10^10 kJ = 5.35 x 10^12 cal
