researcher measures the mass of a sample to be 5.51 g. The actual mass of the sample is known to be 5.80g. Calculate the percent error.

5% is the percent error

Explanation:

Percent error is defined as the 100 times the ratio of absolute value of the difference between the measurement and the theoretical value and the theoretical value, that is:

In the problem, theoretical value is 5.80g and the measurement is 5.51g:

% =

the dependant variable is spilled water

the independent is the heat

i think it is true since you can test the answer and can use observations to complete it.
