    trial 1: % error = 3.546 %

    trial 2: % error = 3.073 %

    trial 3: % error = 0.946 %

    Explanation:

    % error = ((ΔHi - ΔH) / ΔH) * 100

    ∴ ΔH = - 42.3 KJ/mol

    trial 1:

    ∴ ΔH1 = - 43.8 KJ/mol

    ⇒ % error = ((-43.8 - (-42.3)) / (-42.3)) * 100

    ⇒ % error = (0.03546) * 100 = 3.546 %

    trial 2:

    ∴ ΔH2 = - 41.0 KJ/mol

    ⇒ % error = ((-42.3 - (-41.0)) / (-42.3)) * 100

    ⇒ % error = (0.03073) * 100 = 3.073%

    trial 3:

    ∴ ΔH3 = - 42.7 KJ/mol

    ⇒ % error = ((-42.7 - (-42.3)) / (-42.3)) * 100

    ⇒ % error = (9.456 E-3) * 100 = 0.946 %
