Question

Specific Heat Report indicates the value you calculated in your experiment. Questions: Would the computed specific heat be larger or smaller than the expected value if hot water from the heating vessel drops into the foam cup as you pour the sample into it? Why? It would be longer because you are raising of the temperature of Tcw. If you wait too long to measure the equilibrium temperature, will the computed specific heat be larger or smaller than the accepted value? Why? What was the largest source of experimental error in your experiment? (This does not mean mistakes!) The accuracy of the thermometer.

Explanation / Answer

a. specific heat would be larger b. because of the room temperature c.room temperature is taken as a constant
