Principle

Calorimetry can be used to determine the heat content of a piece of metal. The heat content can be calculated from the mixing temperature set in the calorimeter.

Benefits

  • Particularly understandable and didactically prepared description of the experiment (relevance to everyday life etc.) including protocol questions
  • Future-oriented teaching: Integration into digital science lessons with tablets
  • Increased motivation of students by using the intuitive measureAPP
  • Increase of media competence

Tasks

The students heat metal blocks of the same mass but of different types of metal in a water bath to the same temperature and then bring them individually into a water-filled calorimeter with a known starting temperature. They then measure the mixing temperature and calculate the specific heat capacity of the individual metal samples.

Learning objectives

The students learn how to measure specific heat capacities of metals with a calorimeter.
