Lesson 6: Calorimetry Lab


In the last lesson you were introduced to calorimetry: an experimental method used to measure the transfer of heat within a closed system. You also learned that this transfer of heat is equal to the enthalpy change (∆H) which is the thermal energy transferred when bonds are broken or formed. You were able to explore how a calorimeter functions and determine the ideal material to use for your own calorimeter.

You will now use what you learned in the last lesson to design and execute your own calorimetry experiment.
