Question

Consider the possible sources of error described below. Briefly explain the effect of each on your calculated molar heats of neutralization. Indicate which items of data would be in error and the effect (too large, small, or no effect). a.) The calorimeter cup had several millimeters of water in it when you added the HCl in Step 16: b.) The base solution was added to the acid solution but was not stirred while temperature measurement were not made: c.) Some of the base splashed out of the calorimeter while pouring:

Explanation / Answer

1:
The HCL will get diluted, the energy value will get decreased, Affect : Small affect

2:
The temperature will not be same throughout the sulution. The temp reading will chage. But temp measurment not taken, so No affect.

3:
Large affect.The values may chage dramatically.
