<u>Answer:</u>

17%

<u>Explanation:</u>

Mass of a piece of copper calculated by student = 8.3 grams

Actual mass of copper = 10 grams

We know the formula for the percent error:

Percentage error = (| experimental value - actual value | / actual value) * 100

So substituting the given values in the above formula:

Percent error = (|8.3 - 10| / 10) * 100 = (1.7/10) * 100 = 17%
