Task 1
Hypothesis
By increasing the mass of substance using 20ml of water starting at room temperature there will be 10oc change, either an exothermic change or an endothermic change.
Aim
The aim of this investigation experiment is to find out what mass of substance is required for an exothermic or endothermic substance to achieve a 10oc temperature change.
Set objectives
• 7 masses of each substance should be used in this experiment: 0g, 0.25g, 0.50g, 0.75g, 1.00g, 1.25g, 1.50g, 1.75g, and 2.00g.
• Measure the start and end temperature for each substance using a thermometer.
• Measure the volume of water (cm3).
• Thermometer should be placed in the water and measure the start temperature of the water.
• Accurately measure the thermometer readings using the meniscus at eye level for the most accurate results.

The aim of this investigation is to how much mass is needed to require a 10oc temperature change in order to get an exothermic or an endothermic reaction.
For this practical investigation I will choose to approach it using the thermometer to collect my data.
Step by step instructions
1.) Collect all equipment needed for the practical, Thermometer, boiling tube, 2 substances, distilled water, measuring cylinder, weighing boat to measure substance, Test tube holders, goggles, lab coat, spatula, balance scales.

2.) From the equipment you have collected set up the equipment. Measure 20ml of water in the measuring cylinder and transfer the 20ml of water in the boiling tube. After that measure the start temperature of the water using a thermometer and read the meniscus at eye level accurately.

3.) Measure the mass of the first substance (0.25g) on the balance scale accurately. Once measured add the substance into the boiling tube containing 20ml of water and make sure the thermometer is still in the boiling
