Question

Joshua uses his thermometer and finds the boiling point of ethyl alcohol to be 75o C. He looks in a reference book and finds that the actual boiling point of ethyl alcohol is 80oC. What is his percent error?

Answer 1

Answer:

the percent error is 6.25%

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the percent error is shown below:

Percent error is

= (Experimental value - accepted value) ÷ (experimental value) × 100

= (80 degrees - 75 degrees) ÷ (80 degrees) × 100

= (5 degrees) ÷ (80 degrees) × 100

= 0.0625 × 100

= 6.25%

hence, the percent error is 6.25%

We simply applied the above formula so that the correct value could come

And, the same is to be considered
