Question

a student calculates experimentally the value of density of an iron as 4.4 gcm³. if the actual density of an iron is 7.6 gcm³, calculate the percentage error in experiment

Answer 1

hola!

Percentage Error is a measurement of the discrepancy between an observed and a true, or accepted value.

[ refer the attachment. ]

According to Question,

% error = $\frac{7.4 - 7.6}{7.6}$ × 100

= 2.631 % = 2.7 % (approximately.)
