Question

Suppose you are studying engineering and you must determine the boiling point of jet fuel. Your experimental results indicate that the boiling point is 300 °C. Unfortunately, your manual lists the actual value as 325 °F. What is the percent error on your calculation? 07.69% 8.33% O 7.69 °C 8.33 °C​

Answer 1

Answer: 7.69%

Explanation:

The percent error would be calculated as:

Estimated value - Actual value / Actual value × 100

300 - 325 / 325 × 100

= -25 / 325 × 100

= 25/325 × 100

= 7.69%
