Question

Assume that you found that the average volume of water required to fill the graduated cylinder to the 8.00 mL mark was 7.95 mL. What is the percent error?

Answer 1

7.95 divided by 8. thus the percent error is 99.375

Answer 2

42

Answer 3

8.00/7.95

Answer 4

0.625%

Answer 5

[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

To calculate the percent error, we need to compare the measured value (7.95 mL) to the accepted or expected value (8.00 mL). The percent error formula is:

Percent Error = (|Measured Value - Expected Value| / Expected Value) x 100%

Substituting the values into the formula:

Percent Error = (|7.95 mL - 8.00 mL| / 8.00 mL) x 100%

Now, let's calculate the absolute difference:

|7.95 mL - 8.00 mL| = |-0.05 mL| = 0.05 mL

Plugging the values into the formula:

Percent Error = (0.05 mL / 8.00 mL) x 100%

Simplifying:

Percent Error = 0.625%

Therefore, the percent error is 0.625%.
