Step 1

Find the mass of a clean dry empty calorimeter (Mc)

3
New cards

Step 2

Half fill with water and find the new mass (Mc + w)

4
New cards

Step 3

By subtraction find the mass of the water (Mw)

5
New cards

Step 4

Measure the initial temperature of water in the can (θi)

6
New cards

Step 5

Set up apparatus as shown and add crushed dry ice until the temperature drops by at least 10 degrees

7
New cards

Step 6

Measure the final temperature (θf)

8
New cards

Step 7

Find the mass of the water+ calorimeter + melted ice (Mc + w + i)

9
New cards

Step 8

By subtraction find the mass of the ice (Mc+w+i -Mc+w) (Mi)

10
New cards

Step 9

Calculate the specific latent heat of fusion of ice from: (Mi)(l) + (Mi)(Cw)(Δθi) = (Mw)(Cw) (Δθw) + (Mc)(Cc)(Δθc)
