Question

alison measured the temperature of benzene as 26.1K if the correct value is 24.9K what is the percent error

Answer 1

Percent error = 4.8%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Measured value = 26.1 K

Actual value = 24.9 K

percent error = ?

Solution:

Formula:

Percent error = [ measured value - actual value/ actual value] × 100

Percent error = [26.1 K - 24.9 K/24.9 K] × 100

Percent error = [ 1.2K /24.9K]× 100

Percent error = 0.048 × 100

Percent error = 4.8%
