Introduction The first law of thermodynamics states that the energy of the universe is constant. Heat is transferred when the atoms of one material vibrate and collide with the atoms of another material‚ thus transferring energy. For this reason‚ heats always travel from hot to cold objects and two objects will reach an equilibrium temperature. Materials and Methods 1. Oven 7. Test Tube 2. Pasco Temperature Probe 8.

Determination of Heat Capacity In this experiment‚ an improvised calorimeter was used to determine the heat capacity. The calorimeter weighed 4.47 grams prior to the addition of water. Tap water‚ 40 mL to be exact‚ was added to the calorimeter which increased the weight to 43.87 grams. The water was measured using

ANALYSIS On the first part of the experiment which is the determination of specific heat of metals. The obtained value of experimental specific heat of metal of aluminum and copper are 0.2152 calg-℃ and 0.0958 cal g-℃ ‚ respectively. It is a must to work faster in performing this experiment because working in an air-conditioned room greatly affects the result of the temperature. For the temperature values‚ the final temperature of mixture should not increase more than 1 ℃ compare

conducted to find the specific heat of a metal as well as the heat of solution of a solid. Both experiments required the use of calorimetry to measure heat flow and temperature change. The specific heat of the metal was found by heating it in boiling water before transferring it to the calorimeter that was partially filled with water. After shaking the calorimeter‚ the temperature change was measured and recorded. This information was used to calculate the specific heat. The heat of solution of a solid

CALORIMETRY INTRODUCTION Calorimetry is used to determine the heat released or absorbed in a chemical reaction (1).Trustees of darmouth college states that (1) is used to determine the heat released or absorbed in a chemical reaction. To determine the heat released or absorbed in a chemical reaction an instrument called calorimeter is used. A calorimeter is an instrument used for measuring the heat of a reaction during a well defined process (2). Brucat states that (2) a calorimeter is an instrument

Experiment: Calorimetry Laboratory Experiment – Heat of Solution Aim: The aim was to use calorimetric measurements to calculate the molar heat of solution of NaOH and NH4NO3. Method: 1. 50g of water was poured into a clean polystyrene calorimeter (Styrofoam cup) and the initial temperature was measured. 2. A teaspoon of 2g of the selected salt was measured and added into the water. 3. The solution was stirred and the final temperature was measured when the solution stabilised and the results

Chem 17 ▪ General Chemistry Laboratory II Experiment 1 Calorimetry INTRODUCTION Chemical reactions are usually accompanied by the evolution (exothermic reaction) or absorption (endothermic reaction) of heat energy. When measured at constant pressure‚ the heat evolved (qp < 0) or absorbed (qp > 0) is equal to the enthalpy change‚ symbolized by ΔH. ΔH is positive for an endothermic process and negative for an exothermic one. If H f is the enthalpy of the final state and Hi of the initial state
