For each of your three trials state the following: heat needed to melt the ice (q), enthalpy of fusion, and percent error from the accepted enthalpy of fusion of water of 334 J/g

 

Trail 1: Heat needed: 22.0, Enthalpy of Fusion: 469 J/g, Percent Error: 29%

Trail 2: Heat needed: 18.0, Enthalpy of Fusion: 399 J/g, Percent Error: 19%

Trail 3: Heat needed: 20.0, Enthalpy of fusion: 376 J/g, Percent Error: 13%

 

((List three sources of error that could account for the differences between your values for the enthalpy of fusion of water and the accepted value of 334 J/g.))

(ONLY QUESTION THAT I NEED HELP WITH)

 

What was your average percent error for all three trials? In this experiment you did three trials. Why was it suggested that you do three trials and not fewer?

The average percent error was 20.3% In all experiments you should have more than one trial if you can. It helps make your data more accurate because if you do it once, but something went wrong, all of your data is wrong.
