A student calculated the volume of a solid metal bar by volumetric displacement of water. The student calculated a volume of 22.7 cm3. The actual volume of the bar is 19.3 cm3. Determine the percentage error for this student's calculation.

17.6% is the percentage error

Explanation:

The percentage error is used to determine accuracy of a measurement (That is, how closely is the measure to the real or theoretical value). The equation is:

|Measure - Real| / Real * 100

In the problem, the measure was 22.7cm³ and real value is 19.3cm³. Solving for percentage error:

|22.7cm³ - 19.3cm³| / 19.3cm³ × 100

why do the isotopes of a particular element behave differently in nuclear reactions but the same in chemical reactions? chemical reactions involve changes to electrons in an atom; isotopes do not differ in electrons, and so they react the same way during chemical changes.

acid rain does not usually kill trees directly. instead, it is more likely to weaken the trees by damaging their leaves, limiting the nutrients available to them, or poisoning them with toxic substances slowly released from the soil. the main atmospheric pollutants that affect trees are nitrates and sulphates.
