The Handbook of Chemistry and Physics lists the density of a certain liquid to be 0.7988 g/mL. Taylor experimentally finds this liquid to have a density of 0.7925 g/mL. What is his percent error?

Answer:

The answer is 0.79%

Explanation:

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

[tex]P(\%) = \frac{error}{actual \: \: number} \times 100\% \\ [/tex]

From the question

actual density = 0.7988 g/mL

error = 0.7988 - 0.7925 = 0.0063

So we have

[tex]P(\%) = \frac{0.0063}{0.7988} \times 100 \\ = 0.788683024...[/tex]

We have the final answer as

0.79 %

Hope this helps you
