Answer:
The specific heat of the metal is 0.466
Explanation:
Calorimetry is the measurement and calculation of the amounts of heat exchanged by a body or a system.
The equation that allows calculating heat exchanges is:
Q = c * m * ΔT
where Q is the heat exchanged by a body of mass m, made up of a specific heat substance c and where ΔT is the temperature variation.
In this case:
- Q= 2330 J
- c= ?
- m= 25 g
- ΔT= 200 °C
Replacing:
2330 J= c*25 g* 200 °C
Solving:
c=0.466
<u><em>The specific heat of the metal is 0.466 </em></u><u><em></em></u>
Percent error is the difference between the measured and known value, divided by the known value, multiplied by 100%.
So first, we take our measured value, .299 cm, minus our known value, .225 cm.
.299 cm - .225 cm=.004 cm
Next, we divide that by our known value
Finally, multiply your answer by 100
.0177777778 x 100= 1.77777778 %
Round to three significant figures, and you're done.
=1.78 % error
