A calorimeter was assembled and vienna sausages were used to represent a human hand for this experiment. The coffee cup calorimeter allowed for the first law of thermodynamics to be observed when conducting the experiment. The vienna sausage used was cooled down with an ice bath and put into the calorimeter apparatus. Upon adding the sausage, the temperature in the calorimeter decreased. This illustrates the first law of thermodynamics since heat was transferred from the water to the chilled sausage until the system was in thermal equilibrium. In order to calculate the specific heat of the vienna sausage, we used the following equation: ( m sausage) ( C sausage) ( sausage) = - ( m water) ( C water) ( water). This equation was used to ∆𝑇 ∆𝑇 determine the average values of the specific heat of the vienna sausages, which resulted in 2.9 ± 0.3 . Since the standard deviation was relatively low, this indicates there was no significant 𝐽 ??? error in this part of the experiment and it was somewhat precise. Moving to part II of this experiment, we had to determine which salt to use to compose our heat pack. To determine which salt to use in the experiment, we had to determine whether each salt we used resulted in an endothermic reaction or an exothermic reaction. The change in temperature was calculated after mixing 0.2g of the specific salt with 2mL DI water. The results indicate that anhydrous calcium chloride was the only exothermic reaction so we decided to use calcium chloride to design our heat pack. This is because when energy is released in an exothermic reaction, the temperature of the reaction mixture increases, making it useful to raise temperature in the heat pack. There were several sources of error in this experiment. The temperature recordings could have been recorded at the wrong time by the experimenters because it might have not been clear when the temperature reached a plateau. So, temperature could have been recorded too quickly. Another potential source of error could have been from the loss of energy between the calorimeter and the surroundings, which would lead to the change in temperature for the salts recorded and not being representative of the true temperature change. Misreadings of the thermometers could have also happened from the students conducting the experiment. This experiment lacked precision and accuracy. The error estimate of the average molar enthalpy was found to be very high (1.09 x 10 4 ). For future repetitions, error should be minimized. Regarding future experiments that could 𝐽 ???

be done using this process, a possible future experiment could include which salt would be best to use in an ice pack and lower the temperature of a human hand.
