Theory: To most people heat and temperature are generally the same thing. But really in a scientific sense there is still a similarity between them but they are different concepts. Temperature is the measure of the average energy of molecular motion in a substance. Heat is the total energy of molecular motion in a substance. Temperature is not energy like heat is, it is just measure of it. Now there is also a difference between heat and thermal energy. Heat is an energy that is transferred between different substances due to a temperature gradient between them while thermal energy is just the energy of a substance related to its temperature. One more thing is specific heat is the amount of heat per unit mass required to raise the temperature by one degree Celsius. For example the specific heat of water is
4186 joule/gramoC. This is higher than any other common substance, which means it has a very large role in temperature regulation. It takes a lot to chance its temperature. Calorimetry is the measure of heat in chemical reactions. How this is done is a substance is put in water and then the temperature change of the water is measured to mind how much the particular substance was able to change it.

    Calorimetry is the measurement of the quantity of heat exchanged during chemical reactions or physical changes. For example, if the energy from an exothermic chemical reaction is absorbed in a container of water, the change in temperature of the water provides a measure of the amount of heat added.…

    In this lab, we dissolved a calcium-enriched tablet and participate the calcium ion as calcium carbonate. Our purpose is to determine the masses of calcium carbonate and calcium ion, to determine the mass percent of calcium ion in the tablet and to compare the masses and the percent with the listed tablet ingredients. This time we used a 150mL beaker, analytical balance, forceps, a 50mL graduated cylinder, a glass rod, beaker tongs, a hot plate, two 16 x 125-mm test tubes, centrifuge, a medicine dropper, a filter paper, a filter funnel, a 250-mL Erlenmeyer flask, a watch glass, a drying oven, a spatula and a red litmus paper. The chemicals we need were 20mL of 2.0M HCl, a calcium-enriched tablet and 25mL of 1.0M Na2CO3 solution.…

    The specific heat capacity of a substance is the amount of thermal energy required to heat one gram of that substance by one degree. It is an intensive property, as opposed to the heat capacity, which is an extensive property that depends on the amount of substance present. In this experiment, the heat capacity is determined by measuring the change in temperature of the cold water when a hot metal (that does not react with the water) is placed in it. It is assumed that the specific heat capacity is constant in the temperature range, although in reality it does vary with temperature.…
