4. Calorimetry can be used to determine the specific heat capacity of different substances (not just metals). Using the online c
alorimeter simulation you perform the following calorimetry experiment: 100g of ethanol at 50.0°C is mixed with 100. g of water at 20.0°C. After mixing the temperature is 31.11°C. Calculate the specific heat capacity of ethanol. In problem #4 you calculated the specific heat capacity of ethanol from data obtained using the online calorimeter simulation. When you try the same experiment in a real calorimeter, the final temperature after mixing is 34.00°C. Offer an explanation for why the final temperatures are different. Hint: the calorimeter simulation may be missing something.
The Law of Conservation of Mass is defined and explained using examples of reacting mass calculations using the law are fully explained with worked out examples using the balanced symbol equation. The method involves reacting masses deduced from the balanced symbol equation.
