RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

1. If Ccal =Ccup + Cwater, calculate Ccup and Cwater for this experiment
Hint: Use heat capacity of water

*Cwater
*Ccup

2. What would Ccal have been if you had used

50 mL (or 50 g) of water instead?

3. The literature value for the enthalpy of fusion of water is 334 J/g. Calculate the % error for your result. (3 pts)

4. How would a different mass of ice affect the determination of the enthalpy of fusion? Explain. (3 pts)

5. According to the Zumdahl textbook, the enthalpy of neutralization for a strong acid and strong base is -58 kJ/m
value compares with this literature value (calculate the % error and comment on the comparison)? (3 pts)

6. What is the biggest source of error in the enthalpy of neutralization measurements performed in this experime
