Question

A student measured the specific heat of water to be 4.29 J/g.Co. The
literature value of the specific heat of water is 4.18 J/g.Co. What was the
student's percent error? *
A) .0256%
B) 2.56%
C) 2.63%
D) .0263%

Answer 1

Answer:

2.63 %.

Explanation:

Given that,

The calculated value of the specific heat of water is 4.29 J/g.C

Original value of  specific heat of water is 4.18 J/g.C.

We need to find the student's percent error. The percentage error in any quantity is given by :

$P=\dfrac{|\text{original value-calculated value}|}{\text{original value}}\times 100\\\\P=\dfrac{4.29-4.18}{4.18}\times 100\\\\P=2.63\%$

So, the student's percent error is 2.63 %.
