The reaction may have not been complete yet, therefore resulting in a higher percent yield than 100%

Formula for percent error?

Percent Error = {Absolute value (Experimental value - Theoretical Value) / Theoretical Value }*100


What is experimental error and an example of what this error is?

An experimental error is is


Experimental value minus the accepted value is called the?

ERROR is the experimental value-accepted value.


What is accepted density?

accepted density is a part of the equation of the percent error... i.e. :experimental value- accepted value/ accepted value x100% = percent error


What is percent error calculation used to determine?

It is used to determine how accurate an experimental value is.


Write the equation used to calculate percent error?

Percentage error = Value experimental-Value acceptedValueaccepted x 100


What is the percent of error in evaluating the molecular mass of a compound if the experimental value was 105.2 amu and the known value was 107.5 amu?

The formula for percent error is |experimental value-accepted value|/accepted value. The lines stand for absolute value. They are there to prevent a negative percent error, seeing as that is not possible, and they have the same effect on the order of operations as a pair of parenthesis. ITS 2.1%


What is difference between the accepted value and the experimental value?

the answer is error or experimental error.


What does experimental error mean?

The experimental error is an error in a science experiment. Eg.If you had two chemicals that were suposed to react if you put water in them and they did nothing that would be an experimental error. jasper attard


Experimental error caused by instrumental limitations?

Error caused by instrumental limitations is actually called systematic error, not experimental error.


What is the measured the density of Copper to be 68.7 gcm3 The accepted density of Copper is 63.5 gcm3 What was your percent error?

percent error = [(experimental value - actual value)/(actual value)] x 100 so in this case: % error = [(68.7-63.50)/(63.5]x100


If percentage error is 2.15 percent what does it mean?

If the percent error is 2.15%, that means your experimental value is that much more over than the accepted value. However, it is a very vague question, could be taken in many ways.
