Calculation: In the experiment water & oil have given some amount
of heat in a fixed period of time
c mw c w ∆ θ w c w =4.19 j/ gmk
0=
m0 ∆ θ
mw = v x fw
= 100 X 1
= 100 g
m o = v x po
= 100 X0.8
= 80 g
100× 4.19 ×33.8
∴ co = 80.623
= 2.84 j/8-oc
2.48−2.40
= ×100 %
2.40
= 18.33%
Result:
j
The specific heat capacity of kerosene is 2.84 gm ℃ and the parentage
of error is 18.33%
