Question

In the method of mixtures, why should the hot sample be transferred quickly into the calorimeter?

पर्याय

• To avoid breaking the thermometer

• To minimise heat loss during the transfer

• To increase the final temperature

• To cool the water faster

Answer 1

To minimise heat loss during the transfer

Explanation:

If the transfer is slow, the sample loses heat to the surrounding air before reaching the water, leading to inaccurate results.
