Homework Statement
Make that specific heat capacity xD
Well anyways, I did 5 trials trying to calculate the specific heat capacity of copper. I measured the temperature of metal, initial temperature of water, final temperature of water, calorimeter mass, mass of water etc.
When I'm calculating the specific heat capacity with mc(triangle)t = mc(triangle)t
should I average mass of the water?
Should I average the temperature difference?
Homework Equations
Also I am required to make uncertainty calculations as well as percent difference.
How do I carry uncertainty into percent difference? (don't know if that makes sense or not)
The Attempt at a Solution
Well I did some rough calculation with the above averaged and came pretty close :)
