Question

Please help me solve the following 3 questions based upon the results that I obtained, please. Provide formulas and step by step calculations and your reasoning. Please type answer.

Experiment 3: Specific Heat Results/Observations Enter your data in the following table and record your observations Water Object Water AT Object AT Water I-Ti- Object Ti Object Mass Water Ti Test Object Steel bolt TI-Ti mass (9) (g) 27.0 15.5 21.0 5.5 21.215 Experiment 3: Specific He at- Analysis and Discussion Based on your experimental results, please answer the following question:s 1. The heat lost by the hot bolt is equal to the heat gained by the water in the calorimeter. Use the equations provided in the eScience manual and what you know about heat to solve for the specific heat of the steel. Show your work. 2. What is the specific heat of steel from Table 1 in the eScience manual? Find the percent error for your calculated specific heat relative to this accepted value. Show your work. 3. What was the difference between your calculation and the actual specific heat of steel? How could you improve the experiment to reduce this error?

Answer 1

the difference between calculated value and actual value is very large. The error can be eliminated by heating the solid object to high temperature and it is immediately dropped into calorimeter without any heat loss to surroundings and to get exact value we also consider the heat gain by calorimeter
