Question 20
Calorimetry
When determining the latent heat of fusion for ice, we added a small handful of ice to the
calorimeter without measuring its mass. This is fine because:
O we can deduce the added mass of ice at the end of the trial
O the system loses heat to the surroundings
O the equilibrium temperature of the system is arranged to be near room temperature
O we do not need the mass of the ice, since latent heat is per kg anyways
Question 21
Calorimetry
In both experiments, we tried to make it so that the system's T happened to be around room
temperature. Why is that?
O To avoid getting burned.
O to facilitate heat exchanges within the system.
O To reduce heat exchanges with the environment (at room temperature).
O Because the thermometer could only register temperatures around room temperature.
