Question

A handbook gives the density of a liquid as 0.98 g/mL. What is the percent error of a density calculation of 1.10 g/mL based on lab measurements?

Answer 1

12.24%

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the handbook gives the density of the liquid as
`0.98g/ml`

And on the based of lab measurement the density is 1.10 g/ml

Now we have to find the % error in the density measurement

So percentage error
`=(final\ density-initial\ density)/(initial\ density)* 100=(1.10-0.98)/(0.98)* 100=12.24` %

So the percentage error in the density measurement is 12.24%
