Calculate the percent error using the following data Actual

Calculate the percent error using the following data: Actual value of (KCIO_3) 0.0051 Experimental value of (KCIO_3) 0.047 Answer:

Solution

Actual value of [KClO₃] = 0.0051

Experimental value of [KClO₃] = 0.0047

Error, Difference between actual and experimental values = 0.0051- 0.0047 = 0.0004

So percent error = Error/Actual Value * 100 = 0.0004/0.0051 * 100 = 7.84 %
