The original or accepted value for the percent by mass of water in a hydrate = 36%
Percen by mass of water in the hydrate determined by the student
in the laboratory = 37.8%
So the difference between the actual and the percent by mass in water determined by student = (37.8 - 36.0)%
             = 1.8%
So the percentage of error made by the student = (1.8/36) * 100 percent
                                                                             = (18/360) * 100 percent
                                                                             = ( 1/20) * 100 percent
                                                                              = 5 percent
So the student makes an error of 5%. Option "1" is the correct option.
