Experiments were done on a certain pure substance X to determine some of its properties. There's a description of each experiment in the table below. In each case, decide whether the property measured was a chemical or physical property of X, if you can. If you don't have enough information to decide, choose can't decide in the third column. physical or chemical? property experiment O physical A sample of X is carefully weighed and put inside a sealed calorimeter. The calorimeter is heated electrically, and the amount of heat added determined by monitoring the electrical current used. The temperature of X is carefully measured, and from the temperature change and the amount of heat added the value of H may be calculated. O chemical O (can't decide)

In the laboratory a student uses a "coffee cup" calorimeter to determine the specific heat of a metal.She heats 19.2 grams of magnesium to 98.96°C and then drops it into a cup containing 77.8 grams of water at 22.66°C. She measures the final temperature to be 27.15°C.Assuming that all of the heat is transferred to the water, she calculates the specific heat of magnesium to be ________ J/g°C.

(CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE) 4. Let's say that the full volume of your flask is 325 ml. You heat the flask of air in a hot water bath at 89.0°C according to your thermometer. You then inverti into the cold water bath at 5.0°C Water enters the flask as the volume of the gas shrinks. a) Theoretically, what should the volume of the gas be after it sits in the cold water bath? b) You find that during your experiment that 65.0 mL of water has entered the flask. What is the experimental volume of the gas? c) What is your percent error for this measurement?
