Answer:
1.61%.
Explanation:
The following data were obtained from the question:
Measured mass = 3.15 g.
Actual mass = 3.10 g
Percentage error =.?
The percentage error of the group can be obtained by using the following equation below:
Percentage error = |Actual mass – Measured mass| / Actual mass × 100
Percentage error = |3.10 – 3.15| /3.10 × 100
Percentage error = 0.05/3.1 × 100
Percentage error = 5/3.1
Percentage error = 1.61%
Therefore, the percentage error of the group is 1.61%.
