anonymous · Answer

do you have what the other liter amount is?
here is the perent error equation
$$PercentError=\frac{ Quantity_{desired} - Quantity_{obtained} }{ Quantity_{desired} }$$

No, the question didn't give me that.

hmm.. if the only information you are given is 2 Liters, I have no idea how to calculate the percent error, good luck!
