A chemist measures the boiling point of a sample of benzene as 79.8 degrees Celsius. The actual boiling point is 80.1 degree Celsius. Round to the nearest hundredth of a percent, what is the percent error in the boiling point for the sample? Put the % sing after your numbers and do not put spaces in your answer.

Respuesta :

Answer:

-0.375%

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to calculate the percentage error

Mathematically;

% error = error/true value * 100%

error= the difference between the true value and the calculated

That is;

79.8-80.1 = -0.3

% error = -0.3/80.1 * 100%

% error = -0.375%
