Pipets used for the transfer of samples of solutions are always rinsed with a small portion of the solution to be dispensed with the pipet before the actual sample is taken. Calculate the percentage error likely to arise in an experiment if a 10mL pipet is used for transfer and contains 5 drops of liquid adhering to the inside of the barrel. Assume a volume of about 0.05 mL per drop.  Hint:  %   E r r o r = o b s e r v e d –   a c c e p t e d a c c e p t e d × 100 Answer: [BLANK-1]% error
