Basic Calorimetry Set

TD-8557A

Included Parts

1. Calorimeter with lid, 6 pieces

2. Water trap with plastic tubing

3. Aluminum sample

4. Copper sample

5. Tungsten sample

6. Thermometer

Introduction

Understanding calorimetry is the first step into the field of thermodynamics, the study of the role of heat in physical

processes. With the addition of a balance, ice, and a heat source, such as PASCO’s Model TD-8556 Steam Generator,

this Basic Calorimetry Set provides the equipment necessary to perform a variety of calorimetry experiments. Four

important, introductory experiments are described in this manual:

Experiment 1: What is a Calorie? An introduction to the ideas of temperature and heat, and a demonstration

of the conservation of energy.

Experiment 2: Thermal Capacity and Specific Heat The specific heats of aluminum, copper, and tungsten

are measured.

Experiment 3: Latent Heat of Vaporization The role of heat transfer in the conversion of steam into water is

investigated.

Experiment 4: Latent Heat of Fusion The role of heat transfer in the conversion of ice into water is investi-

gated.
