Experiment to Measure the Heat of Fusion of Ice
Title: Experiment to Measure the Heat of Fusion of Ice
Aim:
The aim of the experiment is to measure the heat of fusion of ice. This is the amount of heat energy needed to change one gram of ice at its melting point (0?C) into one gram of water at the same temperature.
Apparatus:
Calorimeter, balance, set of metric basses, thermometer, warm water, ice, paper towels
Introduction:
When a substance changes state, it absorbs or releases a large quantity of heat. During the change of state, the temperature remains constant. The quantity of heat required to change a mass of a substance from solid to liquid state without change of temperature is called the heat of fusion.
Theory:
?Qlost = mccc?T + mwcw?T
Where:
?Qlost = heat lost (J)
