A student experimentally obtained the density of osmium the densest element as 22.57g/cm3 the density of osmium is reported to be 22.48 g/cm3 determine the student percent error

The answer to your question is: % error = 0.4

Explanation:

Data

real value = 22.48%

estimated value = 22.57 %

Formula

% error = |real value - estimated value|/real value x 100

%error = |22.48 - 22.57|/22.48 x 100

% error = |-0.09|/22.48 x 100

%error = 0.09/22.48 x 100

% error = 0.004 x 100

% error = 0.4
