i really appreciate your guys's help by the way. i probably would have never found my mistakes without you guys thanks

ok let me put it all thru the calculator again ugh

and after i predict this i have to find the percent error of my calculations

this is due tomorrow dang

oh so would the new one be water: 21 --> 26 metal: 212 --> 26

yea i fixed that already but i can't change the original post for some reason i changed my spreadsheet though

the initial temp of the cube if before i put it into the boiling water the final temp of the cube is after i put it in the boiling water for a couple minutes the initial temp of the water is room temp (before i put the boiling cube in) the final temp of the water is the highest temp the room...

acronyms ti initial temperature tf final temperature g grams C degrees celcius ct change in temperature J joules UM unknown metal trial LT lead trial

the actual are trial name mass in g ti in C tf in C mass water in g ti water in C tf water in C ct in C ct water in C specific heat in J/gC UM1 121.5 99.6 26.3 30 22.8 99.6 73.3 76.8 1.082415239

the 76.8 and 73.3 are changes in temperature

4.184*30*76.8/73.3/121.5=1.082 4.184*30*79.3/74/121.5=1.107 4.184*30*75.8/72.8/121.5=1.076 ?

but i fixed the spreadsheet data and now I am getting 1.1 J/gC calorimetry is so weird

yes i think you did

now we just need to find it for the other two trials, average it, and then find the metal with that specific heat thank you so much!
