Answer:
B. 0.7%
Explanation:
Given data:
Actual boiling point = 82.5°C
Experimental boiling point = 83.1°C
Percent error = ?
Solution:
Formula:
Percent error = ( actual value - experimental value / actual value )×100
by putting values,
Percent error = (82.5°C - 83.1 °C /82.5°C) × 100
Percent error = 0.007 × 100
Percent error = 0.7 %
Negative sign shows that experimental value is greater than accepted value. It can not written in result.
