By definition the percentage is between 0 and 100 %; this is valid not only in chemistry.

What does it mean if the percent yield is over 100?

It is an error (in science).


What is the percent error if a measured value is 24.59 gmL and the accepted value is 25.49 gmL SCH1.4.1?

The percent error is calculated as: |(measured value - accepted value) / accepted value| * 100%. Substituting the values, we get |(24.59 - 25.49) / 25.49| * 100% = |-0.90 / 25.49| * 100% = 0.0353 * 100% = 3.53% error.


The accepted value for the boiling water is 100.0 degrees Celsius when you measure this value in the laboratory your result is 98.5 degrees Celsius What is the percent error?

To find percent error, use this formula: (actual - experimental) / actual = x Then multiply x by 100 for your percentage. In this case, it would be: (100.0 C - 98.5) / (100) = .015 .015 x 100 = 1.5% There was a 1.5% error.


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 the percent error for a measured value of 3.24 and a correct value of 3.02?

Percent error is calculated using the formula: ((measured value - correct value) / correct value) x 100. Plugging in the values, we get ((3.24 - 3.02) / 3.02) x 100 = (0.22 / 3.02) x 100 ≈ 7.28%.

Yes, your percent error can be over 100%. This means that somewhere during your experiment you made a big error.

How do you show percent error?

Percent error = (actual value - theoretical value) / theoretical value * 100%


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?

To calculate percent error, we can use the formula: Percent Error = [(Measured Value - Accepted Value) / Accepted Value] x 100. Plugging in the values: Percent Error = [(68.7 - 63.5) / 63.5] x 100 = (5.2 / 63.5) x 100 = 0.082 x 100 = 8.2%.


Formula for percent error?

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


What is 99 over 100 as a percent?

99 over 100 as a percent = 99%


What is the percent error of 250-225 divided by 250 times 100 be?

250 - 225 / 250 *100 = 250 - 0.9*100 = 250 - 90 = 160 The answer is exact so percent error is zero.
