Question

HELP ASAP!!!!

In chemistry class, Bob recorded the volume of a liquid as 12.7 ml. The actual volume was 12.3 mL. Use
the formula to find percent error of Bob's measurement to the nearest tenth of a percent.
Experimental Value - Actual Valuel
Percent Error =
Actual Value
x 100
The percent error of Bob's measurement is
%.

Answer 1

% error = 3.3%

Explanation:

Percent Error Formula:

% error = ( (MeasuredValue - AcceptedValue) / AcceptedValue ) * 100

% error = ( (12.7 - 12.3) / 12.3 ) * 100

% error = (0.4/12.3) * 100

% error = (0.03252033) * 100

% error = 3.25203252

% error = 3.3%
