Question

Which is a precaution for the determination of specific heat capacity?

Options

• Calorimeter should be clean and highly polished

• Calorimeter should be well insulated

• The substance whose specific heat is determined should be transferred to calorimeter as quickly as possible

• All of these

Answer 1

All of these

Explanation:

All the listed actions reduce heat loss or make the measurement accurate. The calorimeter should be clean and polished, well insulated, and the solid should be transferred quickly. Hence 'all of these' is correct.
