Lesson 6: Calorimetry Lab Preview CT-STEM

Calorimetry Experiment 1

Use the procedure you designed on pages 2-3 to complete three trials for your first decided upon amount of calcium to test.

Referenced Questions

These questions were answered in the previous steps. They are provided here for your reference.

Question 2.1

Choose three different quantities of calcium in the range below and choose a set amount of water in the range below.

Range for amounts of calcium: 0.10 – 0.50 grams
Range for amount of water: 80.0 – 120.0 mL

Question 2.3

Calorimetry calculations will also require the total mass of solution. Your solution is comprised of your solute (calcium) and your solvent (water). Thus, in order to calculate the mass of solution for each experiment you will add your mass of calcium to your mass of water for each experiment.

Question 3.3

In addition to the vessel you chose in question 3.1, you will be provided with the following materials:

Calcium
Distilled water
100 mL graduated cylinder
Temperature probe
Digital balance
Weighing Boats

Design a simple, repeatable procedure that you will follow for each of your three experiments below.

Questions

Please answer the questions below.

Question 4.1

Fill in the data table below as you complete your three trials for experiment 1.

Question 4.2

Calculate averages for mass of calcium, mass of solution, and change in temperature below.
