    This document contains laboratory questions about heat measurement experiments. It defines a calorimeter as a device used to measure heat of chemical reactions or physical behavior. It states that joules are the normal units used to measure heat. It explains Hess's Law as stating that the enthalpy change is the same whether a reaction occurs in one or multiple steps, as long as the starting and ending points are the same. The post-lab questions ask to write the ionic equations for three reactions and list possible sources of error in the experiment, such as errors in balance or pipette calibration or use.

    Laboratory Questions

    Pre-lab Questions
    1. Define the term “calorimeter”.
    Calorimeter is an apparatus or a device used to measure the heat of chemical reactions
    or physical behaviour and heat capacity.

    2. State the units of energy normally used to measure heat.


    Joules (J)

    3. Explain the concept of Hess Law.


    Hess’s Law stated that when or reactants are converted to products, the changes of
    entalphy is the same whether the reaction take place in one step or multiple of steps.

    Post-lab Questions

    1. Write all ionic equations for the three reactions in the experiment.
    2. List down all possible sources of error in the experiment.
    Callibration error in taking the reading of the analytical balance and does not have
    skill in using a pippete.
