Question

Answer the following questions: in the experiment:HEAT OF FUSION OF WATER

Questions:  

1. Suppose you neglected measuring the initial temperature of the ice and assumed it was 0oC. Would this oversight tend to make your computed value for L too large or too small? EXPLAIN your logic.

2.You assumed that the calorimeter was perfectly insulated from its environment. Of course this can not be absolutely true.  

o During the experiment, was it more likely that the inner calorimeter cup ABSORBED or EMITTED energy to the environment? Explain your reasoning.

o So, is your calculated value for L larger or smaller as a result? Explain your reasoning.
