Calorimetry Lab: Exchanging Energy
Background:
When 2 materials (at different temperatures) come in contact, there is a movement of energy from
one to the other. The warmer object will lose energy and the cooler m terial wil gain that energy
As a result, they will reach the same temperature (called equilibrium) since the TOTAL energy of
the system has not changed, we can use our understanding of calorimetry to find the starting
temperature of the hot object (using Q=mcAT)
Research Question:
If we are not able to directly measure the temperature of a hot object, can we use the conservation
of energy to calculate the temperature when some of its heat is exchanged with an initially cooler
object?
Hypothesis:
Materials:
Safety Goggles
Digital Scale
Styrofoam Cup
Beaker Tongs
Water
Steel Nut
Propane Torch
LabQuest with Temperature Probe
Procedure:
1 Weigh the steel nut and record
2. Weigh the empty styrofoam cup and record
3. Weigh the styrofoam cup with H,O and record
4.
Subtract to get the weight of the H,O

Data:
Mass of empty Styrofoam Cup
Mass of Styrofoam Cup AND Water
Mass of Water
Mass of Steel Nut
Specific Heat of Water
Specific Heat of Steel
Initial Temperature of the Water
Equilibrium Temperature of Water & Steel
Change of temperature (ATr) of the Water
Data Analysis:
1. How many joules of heat did the water gain (use Q=MCAT)?
2. Using the answer to the previous question, how much energy did the steel nut lose as it cooled off?
3. What was the starting temperature of the steel nut (before it was dropped in the water)?
4. IN YOUR OPINION: How could this method be used outside the lab?
