Hold the Heat: Global Warming and Calorimetry

Chemistry

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

In this Activity, students perform quantitative calorimetric measurements on samples of ice/water heated by incandescent light bulbs and/or convection with room-temperature surroundings. They measure and graph temperature as a function of time. They observe that the temperature of the ice water samples remains constant for a time as the ice melts. This is linked with the topic of global warming.
