(Do these BEFORE using the Gizmo
.) 1.
The Latin word
calor
means “heat,” and
meter
comes from the Greek word meaning “to measure.” What do you think a
calorimeter
does?
I think a calorimeter measures the amount of heat in a liquid. 2.
Where have you heard the word
calorie
before? What do you think a calorie is?
I’ve heard the word calorie from food nutrition labels. I think a calorie in this context has something to do with the temperature or heat of a substance. Gizmo Warm-up A calorimeter is an insulated container filled with a liquid, usually water. When a hot object is placed in the calorimeter, heat energy is transferred from the object to the water and the water heats up. Calorimeters can be used to find a substance’s
specific heat capacity
. You will use the
Calorimetry Lab
Gizmo™ to determine the specific heat capacities of various substances. 1.
On the SIMULATION pane, select
Copper
. Use the slider to set its
Mass
to 200 g. Set the Water mass
to 200 g. Check that the
Water temp
is set to 30.0 °C and the copper’s
Temp is 90 °C. Select the GRAPH tab, and click
Play
(
). A.
What was the
Final temperature
of the copper and the water?
34.96 degrees C B.
How much did the temperature of the copper change?
55.04 degrees C C.
How much did the temperature of the water change?
4.96 degrees C CALORIMETRY LAB VOCABULARY 2.
Specific heat capacity can be described as a substance’s resistance to temperature changes. Which substance has a greater specific heat capacity, copper or water? Explain. Water has a greater specific heat capacity because the temperature of the water only slightly changed.
