The cell potential between two beakers containing copper(II) sulfate solutions and copper metal electrodes is measured to be +0.086 V. The first cell contains CuSO4 at a concentration of 1.0 M and the second contains 0.0010 M CuSO4. Calculate the percent error of the voltage measurement compared to theoretical predictions. Enter the percentage to 1 decimal place.
