Building A Clorimeter: Burning Chip To The 80g Of Water
Introduction The purpose of this lab was to build a calorimeter. The purpose of the calorimeter was to get the most energy from the burning chip to the 80g of water.
Literature review
In Physics, energy is the ability to do something. There are different kinds of energy in the world. Energy can’t be created or destroyed. It is conserved. All energy is conserved. Energy can be transferred between objects or systems by the interaction of forces. Energy comes in multiple forms, and the two most common forms are Kinetic Energy and Potential energy. If you have more energy in system 1 than in system 2 then you transfer that energy and that energy will be conserved.

Calorimetry labs are frequently performed in order to determine the heat of reaction or the heat of fusion or the heat of dissolution or even the specific heat capacity of a metal. The calorimeter is a device used to measure the quantity of heat transferred to or from an object. The amount of heat needed to change the temperature depends on how much you want to change the heat. Specific heat capacity is different for all …show more content…
Find the water’s initial temperature and record in table 1.
5. Place the chip under the beaker.
6. Light the chip on fire and wait for the entire chip to burn. Monitor the change in temperature until the temperature stops increasing.
7. Record the final temperature of the water and record in table 1.
8. Calculate the energy captured by the water by using the Calorimetry equation and the data in table 1. Record the total energy captured by the water in table 2.
9. Calculate the percent of energy captured by the water by taking the total energy captured by the water divided by the total energy of the chip and multiplying by 100. Record in table 2.
Part C: Designing a calorimeter
First, you need to gather the materials needed, then you have to come up with a design that will take the most heat from the burning chip to the water and heat it up the most. After you come up with a design, you have to assemble the calorimeter and trial.
Materials
The materials that we used were one styrofoam cup, one soda can, two 20cm sheets of tin foil, and 80ml of water.
Safety Precautions
Make sure your hair is pulled back, your clothing isn’t loose, and you don’t have open toed
