Answer:
3ppt is the relative error of the method
Explanation:
The relative error is a measurement used to determine the accuracy of your experiment, the equation to find the value in parts per thousand is:
Error = |True Value – Observed Value| / True Value * 1000
Where True value is 23.24%
And Observed value is 23.17%
Replacing:
Error = |23.24% – 23.17%| / 23.24% * 1000
Error =
3ppt is the relative error of the method
