1 trial :  nothing is given for result comparision - so we have no idea if it's a mistake.

2nd trial : The results can be compared - if varies, one may go wrong, but which one?

3rd trial : If 3rd result is different from 1st and 2nd, it is unreliable.

calculating enthalpy of fusion. M, C and m,c = mass and specific heat of calorimeter and water, n, L = mass and heat of fusion of ice; T = temperature fall.

L = (mc+MC)T/n.

c=4.18 J/gK. assuming copper calorimeter , so C=0.385 J/gK.

1. M = 409g, m = 45g. T = 22c, n = 14g

L = (45*4.18+409*0.385)*22/14 = 543.0 J/g.

2. M = 409g, m = 49g, T = 20c, n = 13g

L = (49*4.18+409*0.385)*20/13 = 557.4 J/g.

3. M = 409g, m = 54g, T = 20c, n = 14g

L = (54*4.18+409*0.385)*20/14 = 547.4 J/g.

(i) Estimate error in L from spread of 3 results.

Average L = 549.3 J/g.

squared differences average (variance) = (6.236^2+8.095^2+1.859^2)/3 = 35.96

standard deviation = 5.9964

standard error = SD/(N-1) = 5.9964/2 = 3 J/g approx.

% error = 3/547 x 100% = 0.5%.

(ii) Estimate error in L from accuracy of measurements:

error in masses = +/-0.5g

error in T = +/-0.5c

For Trial 3

M = 409g, error = 0.5g

m = 463-409, error = sqrt(0.5^2+0.5^2) = 0.5*sqrt(2)

n =(516-463)-(448-409)=14, error = 0.5*sqrt(4) = 1.0g

K = (mc+MC)=383, error = sqrt[2*(0.5*4.18)^2+(0.5*0.385)^2] = 2.962

L = K*T/n

% errors are

K: 3/383 x 100% = 0.77

T: 0.5/20 x 100% = 2.5

n: 1.0/14 x 100% = 7.14

% errors in K and T are << error in n, so ignore them.

% error in L = same as in n = 7% x 547.4 = 40

The result is (i) L= 549 +/- 3 J/g or (ii) L = 550 +/- 40 J/g.

Both are very far above  334 J/g, so there is at least one systematic error  

e.g: calorimeter may not be copper, so C is not 0.385 J/gK. (If it was polystyrene, which absorbs/ transmits little heat, the effective value of C would be very low, reducing L.)

Using +/- 40 is best.

However, the spread in the actual results is much smaller

* measurements were "fiddled" to get better results; other Trials were made but only best 3 were chosen.

<h3>Other sources of error: </h3>

L=(mc+MC)T/n is too high, so n (ice melted) may be too small, or T (temp fall) too high - why?

* we have assumed initial and final temperature of ice was 0c, it may actually have been colder, so less ice would melt -which explain small values of n

* some water might have been left in container when unmelted ice was weighed (eg clinging to ice) - again this could explain small n;

* poor insulation - heat gained from surroundings, melting more ice, increasing n - but this would reduce measured L below 334 J/g not increase it.

* calorimeter still cold from last trial when next one started, not given time to reach same temperature as water - this would reduce n.

frutty [35]

Answer:

(c) directional selection

Explanation:

Directional selection is a type of natural selection that occurs when members of a population of a species with a particular extreme phenotype is selected or favored against the other phenotypes when natural forces act on the population of a species. Individuals having the particular traits that are favored survive and become more common that others with traits that are less favored.

Directional selection may likely result in the species of butterflies in which darkly collared butterflies are not preyed upon, ensuring their survival, while the other butterflies with other colors will be phased out with time. Darkly colored butterfly will be selected for while the others will be selected against.
