Astudent calculated the density of a sample of graphite to be 2.3 g/cm3. show a numerical setup for calculating the student’s percent error for the density of graphite.

Percent error = 1.5%

Explanation:

Given data:

Measured value of density of graphite = 2.3 g/cm³

Percent error = ?

Solution:

Formula:

Percent error = [Measured value - Actual value / actual value] × 100

Actual/accepted value of density of graphite = 2.266 g/cm³

Now we will put the values:

Percent error = [2.3 g/cm³ - 2.266 g/cm³ / 2.266 g/cm³] × 100

Percent error = [0.034 g/cm³ / 2.266 g/cm³] × 100

Percent error = 0.015  × 100

Percent error = 1.5%

when [oh-] is 10-5  m, and [h3o+] is 10-9  m, the poh is 5 and ph is 9. again in both cases the sum of ph and poh is 14. however, the hydrogen ion concentration is not always going to be equal to exactly 1 x 10 raised to a negative number. for example, we skipped over the value of 2.0 x 10-7.
