    This document provides a checklist and pre-lab and post-lab questions for a calorimetry lab experiment. The checklist outlines materials, goals and borrowing procedures. The pre-lab questions define terms in the heat capacity equation and ask students to calculate heat capacity. The post-lab questions ask students to summarize data, create a graph, determine egg's heat capacity and comment on experimental accuracy.

    learn from this experiment?)
     __________________________________________________________________________
    PRE-LAB QUESTIONS
    The below questions1,2 will help you to review the definitions of keywords related to this experiment
    and practice calculating heat capacity value. To calculate C p of egg, you have to use the equation:

    Q=mC p ∆ T (1)

    1. Define all terms in the above equation.


    a. Q
    b. m
    c. C p
    d. ∆ T

    2. What is the difference between C p and C v ? Given the system under investigation, does it
    matter which you use in Equation 1?

    3. What is the difference between Exothermic and Endothermic processes?

    4. What is temperature is assumed of the egg when it is boiled in water?

    5. A 73.25 g piece of metal that had been submerged in boiling water was quickly transferred
    into 450.0 mL of water initially at 19.3 °C. The final temperature is 25.0 °C. Use these data to
    determine the specific heat of the metal.

    POST-LAB QUESTIONS

    1. Using the tables below, summarize collected data.

    Table 1: Mass and Initial Temperature of Egg and Water


    Material Mass (g) Initial Temp (oC)
    Egg
    Water

    Table 2: Recorded Data of Temperature and Time


    Time (sec) Temp (oC)

    2. Create a graph of Temperature vs Time. Determine the egg reached thermal equilibrium with
    the calorimeter.

    1
    These questions are based on F. R. Foulkes, Physical Chemistry for Engineering and Applied Sciences. Boca
    Raton, FL: Taylor and Francis, 2012.
    2
    These questions are based on section 2.8: Heat of a Reaction and Coffee Cup Calorimeter-Home of Chemistry
    LibreTexts.
    3. Determine the specific heat capacity of the egg.

    4. The specific heat capacity of an egg is reported to be 3.32 kJ/kgoC. Comment on the level of
    accuracy of your experiment.
