Aluminium Mass (g): 49.936
Room temperature H2O volume (ml): 50
Room temperature H2O temperature (°C): 24.9
Hot H2O temperature (°C): 99.8
H2O temperature after metal added (°C): 36.6
Heat capacity of a known metal (aluminum) – Hint: except for the last question to calculate the % error, you will not use the literature value for aluminum's heat capacity. You are trying to determine it experimentally, so you will use it in calculations.
5. Calculate the heat gained by the water in the calorimeter (qwater) after adding the aluminum. (2445.3) Please help me solve 6, 7, 8, and 9.
6. Calculate the heat gained by the calorimeter (qcalorimeter) after adding aluminum.
7. Using results from questions 5 and 6, calculate the heat lost by the aluminum (metal).
8. Calculate the specific heat capacity of aluminum in (J/g∙K).
9. Determine your % error in the value of the heat capacity of aluminum by comparing it to its literature value (listed in the experimental background information).
