Given
Trial 1: 10.7 g/cm3
Trial 2: 10.5 g/cm3
Trial 3: 9.8 g/cm3
Silver ha a density of 10.5 g/cm3
Procedure
The percentage error can be calculated as the difference of the measurement (trial) and the actual value of the silver density.
[tex]\begin{gathered} E_1=\frac{10.5-10.7}{10.5}\cdot100\text{ \%} \\ E_1=-1.904\text{ \%} \\ \\ E_2=\frac{10.5-10.5}{10.5}\cdot100\text{ \%} \\ E_2=0 \\ \\ E_3=\frac{10.5-9.8}{10.5}\cdot100\text{ \%} \\ E_3=6.666\text{ \%} \end{gathered}[/tex]
The trial with the highest error in trial #3 with 6.666% error in silver density measurement.
