Compute the contribution to the percentage error

Reference no: EM13270606

The thermometer you use to measure the freezing temperature of the solvent actually records a temperature that is 0.12ºC too high. Unfortunately you break this thermometer and borrow a fellow student's thermometer, which reads 0.11ºC too low. If the molality of your solution is 0.30, calculate the contribution to the percentage error in your results due to not correct for the errors in the thermometer readings.
