% error = 3.4 %
Percent error = |accepted value - experimental value|/accepted value × 100%
∴ % error = |355 mL – 343 mL|/355 mL × 100 % = |12|/355 × 100 % = 3.4 %
I believe it is because, Lead has a higher boiling point than zinc. by the time Lead melts and becomes a liquid, the temperature is way higher than the boiling point of Zinc therefore, Zinc becomes a gas.
1 liter= 1,000,000 microliters
20 mL= 20,000 microliter
I hope this helped ;)))
