Answer: The percentage error is, 99900 %.
Explanation:
To calculate the percentage error, we use the equation:
[tex]\%\text{ error}=\frac{|\text{Experimental value - Accepted value}|}{\text{Accepted value}}\times 100[/tex]
We are given:
Experimental value of volume = 2.5 L
Accepted (theoretical) value of volume = 2.5 mL = 0.0025 L (1 L = 1000 mL)
Putting values in above equation, we get:
[tex]\%\text{ error}=\frac{|2.5-0.0025|}{0.0025}\times 100\\\\\%\text{ error}=99900\%[/tex]
Hence, the percentage error is, 99900 %.
