Question

A student determines measures the mass of one mole of carbon and finds it to be 12.22 grams. if the accepted value is 12.11 grams, what is the students % of error.

Answer 1

Answer:-

0.91% is the students % of error

Explanation: -

Accepted value= 12.11 grams

Measured value = 12.22 grams

Error = 12.22-12.11 = 0.11 grams

Percentage error =
`(0.11 grams)/(12.11 grams)`x100

= 0.91 %

Thus 0.91% is the students % of error
