Suggest one reason why the experiment might not have given a correct value for the specific heat capacity of the metal.

It is because some of the heat is lost in the surroundings.

Explanation:

To calculate the specific heat of the metal, the following steps are performed.

Take a piece of metal whose mass and the initial temperature is known.

Now take a beaker filled with some measured amount of water and the temperature of water is known.

Drop the heated metal piece in the water so that the equilibrium is reached.

According to the principle of calorimetery,

Heat lost by the metal = heat gained by the water

here, some of the heat is lost in the surroundings so we don't get the correct value of the specific heta of the metal.

you go to your settings preference and in the end youll see sth that says "i want to delete my acc" click on it and u'll acc will be deleted but u have to wait.

hello, i am papaguy.

i have found an answer to your question but use it as information.

information: because weak acids/bases have low concentration of hydrogen ions, the addition of water has a large impact on the ph. 2. a difference in 1 unit is a 10x difference in concentration for example; a liquid with ph of 3 is 10x more acidic than a liquid with a ph of 4. therefore, a liquid with a ph of 3 is stronger.

best of luck!
