Answer : The percent error caused by this mistake is, 0.73%
Solution : Given,
Actual volume = 21.86 ml
Measured volume = 21.7 ml
Formula used for percent error :
[tex]\%\text{ Error}=\frac{(\text{Actual volume}-\text{Measured volume})}{\text{Actual volume}}\times 100[/tex]
Now put all the values in this formula, we get the percent error.
[tex]\%\text{ Error}=\frac{(21.86-21.7)ml}{21.86ml}\times 100=0.73\%[/tex]
Therefore, the percent error caused by this mistake is, 0.73%
