3. Based on your answer in question 2, determine the percent error of your calculated specific heat capacity value of your unknown metal using the specific heat capacities of known metals below.

Metal Specific Heat Capacity
Nickel 0.440
Tin 0.210
Silver 0.237
Magnesium 0.140
Calcium 0.650
Mercury 0.140
o Metal you examined:
o Experimental specific heat capacity:
o Metal identity:
o Known specific heat capacity value:
o Percent error (Show ALL work):

How can we help on this? We have no idea what metal you examined, your experimental results, nor your anything?

In order to calculate the percent error, we need to compare the experimental specific heat capacity of the unknown metal with the known specific heat capacity values. However, the information for the metal you examined, the experimental specific heat capacity, and the metal identity is not provided.

Please provide the values for the metal you examined, the experimental specific heat capacity, and the metal identity in order to determine the percent error.

To determine the percent error of your calculated specific heat capacity value for the unknown metal, you need to compare it with the known specific heat capacities of different metals. Here are the steps to calculate the percent error:

1. Identify the metal you examined and the experimental specific heat capacity value you calculated for it.

2. Find the metal identity and corresponding known specific heat capacity value from the given list.

Metal you examined: [metal name]
Experimental specific heat capacity: [value obtained]

Metal identity: [known metal name]
Known specific heat capacity value: [known value]

3. Calculate the percent error using the formula:

Percent Error = |(Experimental Value - Known Value) / Known Value| * 100

For example, if the known specific heat capacity for the metal you examined is 0.600, and your experimental value is 0.550, the calculation would be:

Percent Error = |(0.550 - 0.600) / 0.600| * 100

4. Simplify the expression inside the absolute bars and calculate the final result.

Percent Error = |-0.050 / 0.600| * 100
Percent Error = 0.0833 * 100
Percent Error = 8.33%

Therefore, the percent error for your calculated specific heat capacity value of the unknown metal is 8.33%.
