Question

8. The experimental value of a volume measurement is 65.5mL. The accepted value is 60.0mL. What is the percent

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is

8.33 %

Explanation:

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

$P(\%) = \frac{error}{actual \: \: number} \times 100\%$

From the question

actual volume = 60 mL

error = 65 - 60 = 5 mL

The percentage error is

$P(\%) = \frac{5}{60} \times 100 \\ = \frac{1}{12} \times 100 \\ = 8.333333...$

We have the final answer as

8.33 %

Hope this helps you
