Thermal Equilibrium Experiment

After each of the solids were completely dry, each was placed into a MelTemp device. The temperature at which each solid began to melt and completed melting was recorded.

The aim of the experiment was to find out how changing the mass effects the rise of the temperature of water.

Step 3: Use the thermometer to identify and record the temperature for room temperature, in your refrigerator, in your freezer, and then research the temperature of boiling water (do not take this temperature) and record them in Table 2.

Using a thermometer we observed the measurement of the water “H2O” in the beaker, and it resulted in an initial temperature of 20 ⁰ C.

he experimental variable in this experiment was the changing number of Alka Seltzer tablets that were put into the 250mL beaker of vinegar. Some of the control variables in this experiment were that the same beaker and thermometer were used for each trial, the same type of vinegar and Alka Seltzer were used for each trial, and the same amount of vinegar. The original Hypothesis was that more Alka Seltzer would increase the temperature of the vinegar was not correct. After analyzing the data it can be seen that for the first trial the temperature did not change as it stayed at 24 degrees Celsius before and during the reaction with 1 tablet, also for trial two with two tablets the temperature stayed the same at 23 degrees Celsius and did

In order to fulfil the labs purpose, the lab was split into two parts. The first part consisted of measuring and determining the freezing point depression of the solution water. The second part consisted of measuring and determining the freezing point depression of a solution that consisted of water and an unknown solute.

In the third stage of this experiment, the density of a liquid was determined and compared to known standards. A 100ml beaker was filled to about half-full with room-temperature distilled water. The temperature of the water in ◦C was recorded in order to compare to known standards later. A 50ml beaker was then weighed on a scale in order to determine mass and recorded. A sample of the distilled water with an exact volume of 10ml was then placed in the 50ml beaker using a volumetric pipette. The 50ml beaker with the 10ml of water was then weighed again and the initial mass of the beaker was subtracted from this mass to obtain the mass of the 10ml of water. With the volume and the mass of the water now known, density was calculated using d = m/V and recorded in g/ml. This process was then repeated to check for precision and compared to standard values to check for accuracy. Standard values were obtained from CRC Handbook, 88th Ed.

Abstract: This experiment introduced the student to lab techniques and measurements. It started with measuring length. An example of this would be the length of a nickel, which is 2cm. The next part of the experiment was measuring temperature. I found that water boils around 95ºC at 6600ft. Ice also has a significant effect on the temperature of water from the tap. Ice dropped the temperature about 15ºC. Volumetric measurements were the basis of the 3rd part of the experiment. It was displayed during this experiment that a pipet holds about 4mL and that there are approximately 27 drops/mL from a short stem pipet. Part 4 introduced the student to measuring

1. Gathered all required materials to designated lab bench. 2. Considered all safety precautions including the prevention of spilling water to avoid falls, handling glassware carefully to prevent shattering, avoiding long periods of working with warm water to avoid burns and avoiding the digestion/inhalation of by-products produced after the reaction (e.g. ethanol and carbon dioxide gas). 3.

Question: Will changing the water temperature affect how quickly a gummi bear dissolves in water? Hypothesis: If the temperature of the water is warmer, then the gummi bear will decrease more quickly in size than compared to cooler temperatures. Materials: Gather the following materials including: •safety equipment including: goggles, gloves, and apron •two 25 mL beakers •one graduated cylinder •one thermometer •one hot plate •8 red gummi bears from the same brand •20 mL of normal tap water in each beaker •one balance measured in grams •forceps •paper towels Procedure: 1.Gather all the materials listed above. 2.Include data tables in your experiment by doing two trials.

The amount of tablets did effect the temperature of the water. Our findings made our hypothesis incorrect. The temperature of the water did increase as the number of the tablets increased also. In this experiment, the finding were quite surprising, simply because I thought that the temperature of the water will decrease as the amount of the number of tablets increased. In the real world I feel like this information would be beneficial, because it shows the reaction of an acid plus a base mixed with water.

In this experiment, we investigate the change in temperature caused by adding a chemical substance into the water and dissolving it. The results recorded in the table below show that our hypothesis is correct.

Boiling water was collected in a beaker and ice was collected in a separate container to prepare for the five different temperatures.

Method/procedure Effect of temperature 1. A cross mark is drawn on a small piece of white cardboard. 2. 10 ml of 0.25 M sodium thiosulfate solution and 35 ml of distilled water is measured using separate measuring cylinder and poured into a 100ml beaker. 3.

The styrofoam cups were used to store the acid (cup was labeled A) and base (cup was labeled B) prepare for them to be mixed. A lid was put on cup A and then the temperature probe was inserted to begin to measure the temperature
