BTEC Applied Science
Unit 2
Learning Aim b: Undertake calorimetry to study cooling curves
,Practical List
1. Calibration of thermometers (pg 110)
2. Cooling curve of water (pg 112)
, Introduction to Calorimetry
Calorimetry: the name given to science investigations using a calorimeter
measure changes of state, phase and chemical reactions in terms of the
associated heat transferred.
E.G.
- Monitoring exothermic and endothermic reactions
- Monitoring changes of physical phase (freezing, melting, etc)
- Measuring specific heat capacity
