What is the percentage error if the experimental value is equal to the accepted value?

1 answer:

5 0

If the experimental value is equal to the accepted value, the percent error is equal to 0. As the accuracy of a measurement decreases, the percent error of that measurement rises.

1. A student in lab measures 4.6 grams of copper for an experiment. Upon further analysis he determines that he should have meas

Reil [10]

Answer:

$2.13\%$

Explanation:

Quantity of copper measured by a student = 4.6 grams

Original quantity of copper = 4.7 grams

Error in measurement = Original quantity of copper - Quantity of copper measured by a student $=4.7-4.6=0.1$ grams

To find the percent error, apply the following formula:

Percent error = (Error in measurement / Original quantity of copper) × 100

$=\frac{0.1}{4.7}(100)=2.13\%$
