Given : Boiling point of water sample 1 = 102 °CBoiling point of water sample 2 = 99.2 °CAnd theoretical boiling point of water = 100.0 °CThe percentage error of any experiment is given by   percent error  =                    |            Experimental value - Theoretical value      ×      100              |              Theoretical value  Hence substituting the value we get   Percent error for water sample 1  =                    |            102      −      100              |            ×      100        100    =  2  %    Percent error for water sample 2  =                    |            99.2      −      100              |            ×      100        100    =  0.8  %
