Introduction
What was the purpose?
to determine the temperature of the water without using a thermometer.
What are the materials?
Coffee Pot
40 C Therometer
Styrofoam cups
Stirrers
Cold Water
What is the goal of this experiment?
to use the first rule of thermodynamics to ascertain the water's temperature
What law of thermodynamics was used, and why?
Ist law of thermodynamics, how hot the water is without directly measuring it was determined
How much water was placed into the first cup?
About 1/3 cup of cold water
What was used to measure temperature?
thermometer was used to measure the temperature
What does the first law of thermodynamics state?
that heat cannot be created or destroyed only transferred
How much water was placed into the second cup?
1/3 cup of boiling water
What are calculations performed for?
Calculations were ultimately performed to determine the average temperature and the percentage inaccuracy, which came out to be 0.37%.
Why does that happen in the thermodynamics law?
Due to this the total was collected using the calculations provided
What where combined?
Hot and cold water
Was the % error high or low?
Given the distance between the masses of hot and cold water, the % error wasn't too low.
What is thermal energy?
The energy that is contained within our system
What needs to be noted?
The final temperature and mass
What did the calculations do?
After gaining the information for the table, the calculations were made in order to get the total for the experiment.
