Welcome to Unit 2! Check Schoology for new due dates! All work done by the end of MP1 (10/31)!
Other Content Videos
Other Content Videos
The links below bring you to other vids by other teachers. These videos are NOT required, but do offer a different perspective on the topic if that helps!
How to Pass Chemistry - a very short vid that gets right to the core of how calorimetry works and the basis for the math we use by creator Melissa Maribel.
The Organic Chemistry Tutor - a more detailed vid focusing specifically on the calculations needed to solve for specific heat.
Tyler DeWitt - another discussion of calorimetry calculations, but in this case we are measuring the ΔH of a reaction like in our SECOND lab activity. Specifically this vid explores how we measure the energy, measured in calories, in food.
Written Content
Written Content
The links below are typed/written content, like in a textbook. Some prefer to learn from reading rather than watching. If that helps you these resources can be useful!
Libre Texts - a good walkthrough of calorimetry with some interesting examples of the environmental impact of the high specific heat of water. Libre Texts has a very well worked out example lower on the page which is what really makes it a valuable resource.
University of Texas - A short pdf with a summary of how caloritry works and what a calorimeter looks like. You are not responsible for the calibration process discussed at the end!
CK-12 Foundation - another textbook-style discussion of calorimetry and the related mathematics. CK-12 is a strong overall resource for help in this course throughout the year!
Class Practice
Class Practice
Complete BOTH of the practices below!
Calorimetry to Measure Specific Heat - This practice will math the work from our first lab and will measure specific heat values.
Using Calorimetry to Calculate Enthalpy (ΔH) - This similar practice will use the same equations and concepts on calorimetry, but will be solved in a slightly different way to determine enthalpy instead of specific heat.
In this first lab activity you will be measuring the specific heat of a metal sample using calorimetry
In our second lab activity you will measure the enthalpy (ΔH) of a chemical process. Similar process and data to the first lab, but different calculations!
Mastery Quiz
Mastery Quiz
To prove mastery of this topic you will need to take a quiz on Schoology. Here are the guidelines:
You must show me all the completed work for this section BEFORE you you can start attempts on this quiz.
You can use any notes, practice, or prior quiz attempts to help you complete the quiz.
You can use ANY class resources like a calculator, your periodic table, or any other reference materials
You have UNLIMITED attempts to take this quiz, but after 4 tries you will need to take a paper version with me in class.
You should only need 2-3 tries for each quiz. If it takes more than that you should be reaching out for help!
You CANNOT work with others on the quizzes
