A HOT AND COOL LAB # 2.2

Problem:Does a substance temperature always go up when energy is added through

heating? Does substance temperature always go down when energy is removed through
cooling?

Hypothesis:When the energy is added to a substance then the temperature

increase.When the energy is removed then the temperature decrease.

Independent Variable:The amount of energy being added/taken out.

Dependent Variable:The substance’s temperature
Controlled Variable: The graduated cylinder
● Type of water
● The amount of wait between each temperature.
● Duration of experiment

Data: Graphs

Energy Added
Energy Removed

Analysis:
1. What happens to the temperature of boiling water when you continue to add
energy through heating?

For instance, when water is boiling, adding heat does increase its temperature. This
happens at the boiling temperature of every substance that can vaporize. At the boiling
temperature, adding heat energy converts the liquid into a gas with temperature rise.

2. What happens to the temperature of freezing water when you continue to

remove energy through cooling?

The temperature will not decrease until it gets to its freezing point and the ice will
keep its shape and volume.
 3. What does the slope of each graph represent?

The slope is defined as the ratio of the vertical change between two points, the rise, to
the horizontal change between the same two points, the run.

4. How does the slope of the graph that shows water boiling compare with the
slope of the graph before the water starts to boil? Why is the slope
different for the two periods?

When the water was boiling,the temperature was constant until the change
of state is completed. However,there was a slope in the red line, So it meant that the
substance’s temperature was increasing until state was reached.

5. How does the slope of the graph that shows water freezing compare with the
slope of the graph before the water starts to freeze? Why is the slope
different for the two periods?

When the water was starting to Freeze,the temperature continually

decreased until the solid state’s temperature was reached.So, it means that the
change of state was being completed.

Conclusion:
Do the data support/not support your hypothesis? Explain why the graph looks the
way it does in terms of adding/losing energy and the effect energy has on the
movement of particles in a substance.

The Data does support my hypothesis because in this experiment, the temperature
increases when the energy was added and the temperature was decreasing when the
energy was removed.
