Physics LabShc of Water

The result I allow get as the SSH of water will not be exactly the same as the literature cling to, but ill be a very close figure to the literature observe of the SSH of water as there will be some limitations to our experiment. The experimental result I acquired was 4119. 54 Jag-1 K-1, lower than I expected, while the literature value is 4200 Jag-K-1 this shows that the experiment was carried out correctly, but not perfectly. There is a 2% error in my result when compared to the literature value. The errors can be due to the detail that the experiment wasnt orchestrated under professional conditions in a top-notch lab. Thus, one can without a doubt conclude by saying that the experiment go about mom errors while it was being conducted, but still arrived at the area of the expected result.Evaluation The experiment was conducted well, despite the random and systematic errors that I came across. The main errors I identified were the following When transferring the iron block into the calorimeter some heat was lost to the surroundings as the block was out in the open. The simple calorimeter we used was do from a copper can, and when the water and iron block were boiling the can was nearby, and since its a metal and metals are conductors of heat it possibly has gained heat from the bunsen burner. Therefore, the temperature variety of the mixture, as a result, could have been made smaller by power of heat being gained by the calorimeter.The cover of the calorimeter wasnt amply closed, leaving the water in spite of appearance exposed and vulnerable to evaporation, which could lead to the loss of mass of the water and also cause the water to lose or gain heat from the surroundings, which could have been the reason I got results lower than what I expected, even though it would result in a very minute difference Suggestions for Improvements Weakness Improvement Calorimeter gaining heat from the Bunsen burner close by because of the material its made from I ntroduce a calorimeter that is made from a substance that doesnt let outside intrusions affect it. The cover of the calorimeter not fully closing Use a lid that fits the copper can so that the water inside of it isnt exposed to outside air Heat lost to surroundings when transferring ten test material (metal Deadlock) Into ten calorimeter Put forward a scheme whereby less heat is lost to the surroundings or use a metal that has some characteristics of an insulator as the test material (metal block)
