Data Table 1

aluminum

copper

iron

zinc

Observation

-Aluminum had the highest mixture temp- 38.9ºC

-Copper had the highest metal temp- 104ºC

-Copper had the lowest mixture temp- 31.6ºC

Observation

Data table 2

-Metal B had the highest mixture temp- 32.2ºC

-All metals had the same metal temperature.

-Metal C had the lowest temp mixture- 28.7ºC

Part I:

Calculate the energy change (q) of the surroundings (water) using the enthalpy equation

qwater = m × c × ΔT

m=26g c=4.18xΔT

ΔT=final temp-initial temp

ΔT=38.9-25.2=13.7

26x4.18x13.7=1488 joules

-1488J=27.776g(38.9-100.3)

-1488J=27.776(-61.4)

-1488J=1705.44

0.872J/gxC=C

metal C

metal B

metal A

Calculations 2

Part 2:

Calculate the energy change (q) of the surroundings (water) using the enthalpy equation

qwater = m × c × ΔT

m=24.2g c=4.18 ΔT=29.1-25.1=4

24.2x4.18x4=404.62J

-404.62=25.605(29.1-100.2)

-404.62=25.605(-71.1)

-404.62=-1820.51

C=-0.222J/gxC

Conclusion

Experimental Error

-Because there is a limit to how much metal you can use, this prevents from unreliable results.

-You must read every variable precisely, as well as knowing how to read/differentiate the temperatures.

0.222-0.210/0.210x100=77% error

The capacity of the unknown metals would be around 0.210.

This is would be the closest calculation because this somewhat matches the heat capacity of an unknown metal, which would be 0.222.
