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?

2H2(g) + O2(g) → 2H2O(l )
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>
True
<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
- The molecule NH3 contains all single bonds.
- NH3 has a three single covalent bond among its nitrogen and hydrogen atoms,because one valence electron of each of three atom of hydrogen is shared with three electron.
- There are three covalent bonds are in NH3 . Each hydrogen make a single bond with nitrogen and there is also a pair of electron which is unpaired from nitrogen.
