Achemistry student carried out an experiment; the mass she recovered was 3.15 g; her percent error was 1.61%. what was the accepted value?

The accepted value was either 3.10 g or 3.20 g

Why?

There are two possibilities:

The formula for the percent error is the following:

Clearing for Accepted Value and inputting the values we get the following:

Another possibility is that the the Accepted value is higher. In that case we'd get:

.

The most likely value for the accepted value is 3.20 g, as most experiments in which mass is recovered yield a lower experimental value than the initial one.

Have a nice day!

practical process described pest part of scientific investigation.

because practical knowledge is powerful then therotical knowledge.

because of all the things that happen around the us, many people get into arguments which sadly could get physical, but we should actually make a change for that.
