 0 Part B - Specific Heat: 1. 2. The measured values

0 Part B - Specific Heat: 1. 2. The measured values of the various masses and temperatures are given in the below table. Calculate the experimental specic heat of the two metals (cm) using the equation in the theory section and record the results in the below table. Compare the experimental values to the accepted values given in the below tables by calculating the % Error. Record values in the below table. How do the values compare and what factors do think may cause there to be a difference between these values? Discuss in your lab report Why do we shake off any water on the metals before dropping them in the calorimeter? Explain in your lab report. Why did we not include the mass of the calorimeter (Styrofoam) in our calculations? Explain in your lab report. Derive in the theory section of your lab report the final equation for the specic heat of the metals (cm)
