Question

A volume is measured experimentally as

4.09 mL. What is the percent error, given
that the correct value is 4.13 mL?
Answer in units of %.

Answer 1

The answer is 0.97 %

Step-by-step explanation:

The percentage error of a certain measurement can be found by using the formula

`P(\%) = (error)/(actual \: \: number) * 100\% \\`

From the question

actual volume = 4.13 mL

error = 4.13 - 4.09 = 0.04

We have

`p(\%) = (0.04)/(4.13) * 100 \\ = 0.968523002...`

We have the final answer as

0.97 %
