Good morning everyone! I’am Mirajoy C.

Tardio and I will be the one to explain the sample computation on the
2nd video entitled Coffee Cup Calorimetry.

The first one is the conversion of water from mass to volume

We all know that the formula on getting the density of water is equal to mass divided by volume. So,
in order to convert the water from mass to volume, we need to divide it by 1gram over ml. So cancel
out the gram, then matitira na lang is yung ml. 96.4 divided by 1ml, we came up with this answer. So
the volume is equal to 96.4ml.

The next one is the Heat gained by water. The measurement of heat transfer is calculated by this equation.
Q= m x c x the change in temperature, where Q is the quantity of heat transferred to or from the object, m is
the mass of the object, C is the specific heat capacity of the material the object is composed of.

J
q=96.4 g × 4.184 ×(22.3 ° C−21.4 ° C ) So, saan nanggaling yung 22.3 at yung 21.4 degrees Celsius?
g .° C
Ayan po yung final temperature of mixture that stated on the video while the 21.4 degrees Celsius is the
initial temperature of the water. Moving on..

J
q=96.4 g × 4.184 × 0.9 ° C
g .° C

q=363 J or the heat gained by water is equal to 363Joules

The third one is getting of the Heat released by the sample. So, this is the equation on how to get the
heat released by the sample. Heat released by the sample + heat released by the water is equal to zero.
And then in order to get it we need to transpose the qwater on the right side and it will become
negative. q sample + qwater =0

q sample =−q water

q sample =−363 J or the heat released by the sample

The fourth one is getting the specific heat capacity of the sample. The Derivation of the formula for
specific heat capacity:

q
c= or the heat released
m ×∆ T
 −363 J
c= again, the 22.3degrees Celsius is the final temperature of a mixture and the
7.67 g ×( 22.3° C−100 ° C)
100 degrees Celsius is the initial temperature of the sample

−363 J
c=
7.67 g × (−77.7 ° C )

−363 J
c=
−595.959 g ° C

J
c=0.609
g°C

Last is getting the Percentage Error. Percentage error is determined by the difference between the exact
value and the approximate value of a quantity, divided by the exact value and then multiplied by 100
to represent it as a percentage of the exact value.
