Percent error is calculated using the following formula:
#Rightarrow % "error" = |frac("experimental value" - "theoretical value")("theoretical value")| cdot 100#
This formula can be refined as:
#Rightarrow % "error" = |frac("experimental value")("theoretical value") - frac("theoretical value")("theoretical value")| cdot 100#
#Rightarrow % "error" = |frac("experimental value")("theoretical value") - 1| cdot 100#
Now, let's substitute the relevant values into the formula:
#Rightarrow % "error" = |frac(6.6" g/cm"^(3))(7.57" g/cm"^(3)) - 1| cdot 100#
#Rightarrow % "error" = |0.8718626156 - 1| cdot 100#
#Rightarrow % "error" = |- 0.1281373844| cdot 100#
#Rightarrow % "error" = 0.1281373844 cdot 100#
#Rightarrow % "error" = 12.81373844%#
#therefore % "error" approx 12.8%#
Therefore, the percent error is around #12.8%#.
