Question 119408
In a chemistry lab, a student measured 1.0 cubic centimeters of acid to use in an experiment. The actual amount of acid that the student used was .95 cubic centimeters. What was the percent of error in the student's measurement? Give your answer to the nearest tenth of a percent.
---------
Quantity of error: 1-0.95 = 0.05 cu cm
---------------------------------
Percent of error 0.05/1.0 = 5% error
