If a copper calorimeter of 100g mass containing 200g of water was used. The thermometer contained 0.8 centimeter cube of mercury and 3 of glass. what error is introduced by neglecting the heat capacity of the thermometer?
We do not give away answers. Please give me what you think is correct, and I will help you with the answer and make sure you are correct. :)
I think neglecting the heat capacity of the thermometer will lead to inaccuracy of the measured value of the temperature. Since the thermometer will either absorb the heat easily or not hence it will give high temperature. However if the thermometer's material does not have high heat capacity then it will measure heat lesser than the actual value.
Wonderful. :)
Am i right?
Im pretty sure ur right :D
How would the experimental value of the specific heat be affected if some hot water were carried over with the meal?
I need the answer

Very weird. =(
