Calorimeters :: Papers

Calorimeters This is a investigation into how warmheartedness transfer is effected when disparate inconsistents are permuted, when change state pissing is in a colorimeter. Variables These are the variables which are available for me to change 1. several(predicate) insulators e.g. Foam or Cotton Wool, Polystyrene. 2. The temperature of the water at the chicken feed of the experiment. 3. Whether or not the calorimeter has a lid on or not. 4. Different conductors e.g. Copper, Wood, other metals. 5. The amount/Volume of water. Prediction These are my predictions for each variable 1. Different insulators work better than others. Different insulators testament have antithetical effects, because of what they are made of, if the material is a metal, it will conduct the heat, a non-metal will insulate the heat, some better thence others. 2. If the starting temperature is higher, then I predict it will be higher at the peculiarity too, because t he energy lasts longer in the hotter water. 3. If the lid isnt on much heat will be lost, because the heat will rise. 4. Different conductors have unlike effects too. Some conductors conduct the heat quicker than others. e.g. Copper will transfer the heat quicker than wood. 5. If in that respect is less water there would be a smaller surface area to volume proportionality so less water will transfer less heat, and more will enhance the transfer Planning I will check out different amounts of water and different insulators. I will use these different quantitys of water 20cm cubed 40cm cubed 60cm cubed 80cm cubed 100cm cubed ( I will also change the insulator on this one) Equipment Used I will use the following equipment Calorimeter. Kettle. Thermometer. Measuring cylinder Insulators (Available insulators e.g. Foam). Stopwatch. Method I will measure the five different amounts of water and poor them into
