Question

indicate whether the error described below will result in a higher, lower, or no change in the calculated specific heat. Explain. Twice as much water was used in the calorimeter than specified in the procedure. indicate whether the error described below will result in a higher, lower, or no change in the calculated specific heat.

Explanation / Answer

if we used twice as much water...

then the heat absorbed from the reaciton to water will be twice as larger

then

the chang ein temperature will DECREASE, since Q is the same form reaction, and mass increases

so

dT must decrease as well

If we do this without accounting it

the HRxn will be LOWER
