Question

The amount of a chemical solution is measured to be 2 liters. What is the percent error of the measurement?

2.5%
5%
25%
50%

Answer 1

(0.5/2)×100= 25% is the correct ans

Answer 2

Thank you for asking this question. Here is your answer:

If we talk about 2.5 first of all it can be 1.5 to 1.9

And if we round it up to 2.1 or maybe 2.4 it will become 2

2 - 1.5  = 0.5

We will use the following formula:

Percent error = (Absolute error /Quantity) x 100

= 0.5/2 x 100%

= 0.25 x 100%

= 25%

The final answer for this question is 25%
