Answer:
See below
Step-by-step explanation:
heat gained by metal + heat lost by water = 0
m₁C₁ΔT₁ + m₂C₂ΔT₂ = 0
C₁ = -(m₂C₂ΔT₂)/(m₁ΔT₁)
The factors determining C₁ are
- mass of water
- temperature change of water (T_f - Ti)
- mass of metal
- temperature change of metal (T_f - Ti)
Any factor that makes the numerator higher or the denominator lower than what you thought, will give a calculated C₁ that is too high (and vice versa).
The major sources of uncertainty are probably in determining the temperatures, especially the initial and final temperatures of the metal. However, you will have to decide what the principal factors were in your experiment.
For example, did the metal have a chance to cool during the transfer to the calorimeter? How easy was it to determine the equilibrium temperature, etc?

Translational motion refers to a type of motion in which a body or object moves along a linear axis rather than a rotational axis
The energy produced by burning : -32.92 kJ
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Delta H reaction (ΔH) is the amount of heat change between the system and its environment
(ΔH) can be positive (endothermic = requires heat) or negative (exothermic = releasing heat)
The enthalpy and heat(energy) can be formulated :
The enthalpy of combustion of naphthalene (MW = 128.17 g/mol) is -5139.6 kJ/mol.
The energy released for 0.8210 g of naphthalene :
