What factors could have affected your results?

Chemistry
1 answer:
AleksandrR [38]2 years ago

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?

Factors Affecting the Calculation of Specific Heat Capacity

<u>          Too Low                 </u>              <u>      Too high                   </u>              

Water                                             Water

    Mass less than thought                Mass more than thought

    Ti lower                                         Ti higher

    T_f higher                                       T_f lower

Metal                                              Metal

    Mass more than thought             Mass less than thought

    Ti higher                                       Ti lower

What is the oxidation number of cl− in the hypochlorite ion clo−?
mariarad [96]

Answer : The oxidation number of chlorine (Cl) is, (+1)

Explanation :

Oxidation number : It represent the number of electrons lost or gained by the atoms of an element in a compound.

Oxidation numbers are generally written with the sign (+) and (-) first and then the magnitude.

When the atoms are present in their elemental state then the oxidation number will be zero.

Rules for Oxidation Numbers :

The oxidation number of a free element is always zero.

The oxidation number of a monatomic ion equals the charge of the ion.

The oxidation number of  Hydrogen (H)  is +1, but it is -1 in when combined with less electronegative elements.

The oxidation number of  oxygen (O)  in compounds is usually -2, but it is -1 in peroxides.

The oxidation number of a Group 1 element in a compound is +1.

The oxidation number of a Group 2 element in a compound is +2.

The oxidation number of a Group 17 element in a binary compound is -1.

The sum of the oxidation numbers of all of the atoms in a neutral compound is zero.

The sum of the oxidation numbers in a polyatomic ion is equal to the charge of the ion.

The given compound is, ClO^-

Let the oxidation state of 'Cl' be, 'x'

x+(-2)=-1\\\\x-2=-1\\\\x=+1

Therefore, the oxidation number of chlorine (Cl) is, (+1)
