Guys, for a question which asks to calculate the percentage error, how do we do that? (In the practical paper)
You mean percentage uncertainity?
It's the error in equipment divided by your answer multiplied by 100
(error/actual answer) x 100

Please can you give an example - like from which years paper?

The highest mass number is its molecular mass , that is 396 .
So try different possibilites to make 396 like 4 Si , 4 O and 9 Cl .

So there is n other way just trial and error. Wouldn't it take alot of time??
I also did it the same way. But thought maybe I am wrong...look slike i was correct. :(
