Accomplished chemistry learners set up a calorimeter and measure the energy released by various alcohols: methanol, ethanol, and either propanol or butanol. Lab masters will first need to design their own tables for recording data....

In this calorimetry worksheet, learners complete 30 problems. They calculate the change in heat of a system given the mass and the change in temperature of the system. Students also find the final temperature of a reaction given the...

A valuable resource provides a list of concepts that young chemists should grasp. The topics include energetics, kinetics, equilibria, redox reactions, and the halogen group. Employ this as a guide for your own curriculum planning, or a...

In this phase changes learning exercise, students use the specific heats for different substances to determine how much heat is needed for those substance to change phases. This learning exercise has 9 problems to solve.

Students burn peanuts and marshmallows to determine the calories each contains. In this calorimetry lesson, students set up an apparatus with a ring stand and water in an aluminum can. They record the temperature of the water before and...

Students investigate calorimetry and set up equipment to measure calories. In this calorimetry lesson plan, students make a calorimeter and compare large amounts of heated water with small amounts to show the difference in calories....

In this specific heat and calorimetry worksheet, students are given specific heats of substances and they must find the amount of heat needed for particular reactions to proceed. In addition, students find specific heats given the amount...

For this thermodynamics worksheet, learners fill in the blanks with terms related to specific heat, calorimetry, phase changes, enthalpy, entropy and free energy.

In this food energy learning exercise, learners review calories and how calories are determined. Students calculate how much thermal energy it would take to raise certain volumes of water a certain number of degrees. This learning...

Students are introduced to the laws of thermodynamics. The 1st law of thermodynamics states that the energy must be conserved when two objects of different temperatures come in contact. If one object gains energy, the other object must...

Students calculate the calorie content of food. In this chemistry lesson, students plan a healthy meal based on RDA. They devise an exercise to burn extra calories.

In this thermodynamics activity, students review kinetic and potential energy, enthalpy, entropy, and standard hear of formation. This activity has 1 short answer and 5 problem solving questions.

Eleventh graders investigate the relationship between heat and energy transfer. They review terms including heat, work, calorimetry and the procedures for an experiment. After assembling the materials for the experiment, they observe...

Young scholars are told that objects in contact with one another reach an equilibrium temperature. A hot object placed in a cool liquid always cool off. It never happens that the object gets hotter and cool liquid gets colder. Students...
