Calculations (show work for all calculations)
Aluminum Sample:

Calculate the change in temperature for the water caused by the addition of the aluminum by subtracting the initial temperature of the water from the final temperature of the water. ΔT = Tf - Ti (5 points)
ΔT = Tf - Ti =1.29 degrees celcius
Calculate the change in the metal’s temperature by subtracting the initial temperature of the aluminum from the final temperature of the aluminum. ΔT = Tf - Ti (5 points)
Determine the mass of the water by using the water’s density (specific to the initial temperature) and the volume of the water. Remember, density = mass/volume. You can look up the density of the water at your specific temperature. (5 points)
Use the equation: q = m(SH)ΔT to solve for the amount of heat gained by the water from metal. You have the mass of water from

    Using the temperature change we can calculate how much thermal energy was transferred into the water. The change in temperature was a difference of 14’C, from 26’C to 40’C. Therefore to rise 1mL of water by 14’C you need 58.16J.…

    In this experiment the student will need a Bunsen burner, ring stand, wire gauze, pH meter, red cabbage, about seven small beakers (clean), seven test tubes, universal pH paper, both red and blue litmus paper, methyl red and several solutions provided by the instructor. First the student will prepare the red cabbage by filling a beaker with 50 mL of distilled water and placing about 1 gram of finely chopped red cabbage and boil for 10 minuets. Let the beaker cool and decant the solution from the cabbage. While the cabbage is boiling the student should continue with the rest of the experiment, pour about 2 mL into the beaker and test the pH with the pH meter, litmus papers, and universal pH paper and record. Pour half of the solution into a test tube and set aside. With the sample in the beaker add 2 drops of methyl red and record. With the solution in the test tube add a dropper full of the cabbage indicator and record. The student must do these steps with all of the solution provided for in this experiment.…

    1. Calculate the energy change (q) of the surroundings (water) using the enthalpy equation

qwater = m × c × ΔT.

We can assume that the specific heat capacity of water is 4.18 J / (g × °C) and the density of water is 1.00 g/mL.

The water has absorbed the heat of the metal. So, qwater = qmetal…

    Abstract: The purpose of this experiment is to study the energy changes associated with the phase changes of water. In this experiment we know the water is gaining energy so we know the heat is going to be positive and we can use the equation MCΔT to find the energy change. The specific heat will be 1 and we just have to measure the water to find the mass and take the temperature before and after we start to find the energy change.…
