In preparing a certain ointment, a pharmacist used 28.35 g of zinc oxide instead of the 31.1 g called for. Calculate the percent

Vilka [71]

Answer: 9.70%

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find the percentage error is given by :-

$\%\text{ error}=\dfrac{|\text{Estimate-Actual}|}{\text{Actual}}\times100$

Given : Actual mass of zinc oxide used by pharmacist = 28.35 g

Estimated mass of zinc oxide used by pharmacist =31.1 g

Now, $\%\text{ error}=\dfrac{|31.1-28.35|}{28.35}\times100$

i.e. $\%\text{ error}=\dfrac{2.75}{28.35}\times100$

i.e. $\%\text{ error}=9.70017636684\approx9.70\%$

Hence, the percentage of error on the basis of the desired quantity.= 9.70%
