Aim: To show that when Hot and Cold water are mixed‚ heat lost by hot water is equal to heat gained by cold water. Theory: This Lab is done to demonstrate “the Law of Conservation of Energy”‚ which implies: - “the heat lost by one (1) substance must be equal to the heat gained by another substance within the system”. Apparatus: Two (2) similar Calorimeters: a Thermometer: a Measuring Cylinder: a Bunsen burner: a Tripod: an Asbestos Gauze Cork Mat. Procedure: * The tripod and Bunsen

Data Analysis: 1. What was the temperature change for the water in the calorimeter (ΔTwater)? 3°C 2. What was the temperature change for the metal sample (ΔTmetal)? Assume the intial temperature of the metal was the same as the temperature of the water it was boiled in. 70°C 3. What was the specific heat of water in J/g°C? 4.186 J/g°C 4. Using the following equation‚ your answers to questions 1-3‚ and your data table‚ determine the specific heat of the metal sample you tested. 5

The purpose of this experiment is to find what design of calorimeter captured the most energy from a combusted chip. To find this‚ we tested each design‚ and calculated the amount of energy it captured from a baked potato chip. The two basic forms of energy are kinetic energy and potential energy. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion. A ball has kinetic energy when it flies through the air. The ball has the ability to do work in that it can act upon other objects with when it collides. Potential

Bomb Calorimetry Abstract: In this experiment‚ biodiesel fuel was synthesized from vegetable oil. Biodiesel is considered “green” and better for the environment because it is biodegradable. The heat of combustion was then determined using a bomb calorimeter. Introduction: Petroleum is the largest single source of energy consumed by the world’s population‚ exceeding coal‚ natural gas‚ nuclear‚ hydro‚ and renewables (3). It is predicted that global demand for petroleum will increase to 40% by 2025 (3)

________________________________________________________ introduction Chemical reactions absorb or release heat. One way to measure this is by using a homemade calorimeter. The calorimeter used in this experiment is made up of a Styrofoam ball with a hole that can fit a test tube. The heat capacity of the styro-ball calorimeter is measured using a neutralization reaction of know enthalpy change. This heat capacity is then used to calculate the amount of heat absorbed or released by a chemical

Thus‚ we eat and combust food to release its heat energy in our bodies. In this experiment‚ we will determine how much heat energy released when we eat snack foods such as popcorn or potato chips. This lab includes three burning tests of different foods with different energy contents. Calorimetry is the science associated with determining the

The Calorimeters Calorimeters are a device that can measure the heat that comes from burning an item. Simple Calorimeter A simple calorimeter is used to detect the enthalpy change when a fuel is burned. The fuel is burnt to heat a specific mass of water and then measure its rise in temperature. The word calorimeter comes from the Latin phrase calor which means heat. A simple calorimeter just consists of a thermometer attached to a metal container full of water suspended above a combustion chamber
