    EXPERIMENT 4 : ENERGY IN THERMAL

    SYSTEM
    OBJECTIVES
    1. To gain thermal equilibrium.
    2. To determine final temperature.
    INFERENCES
    Thermal equilibrium is achieved when two subtances reach the same
    temperature and exchange to heat energy.
    HYPOTHESIS
    The final temperature obtained from the experiment will be the state in
    which the temperature of two substances reached the equal temperature
    at a certain time.
    PROCEDURES
    1. Record m1 as the weight of an empty beaker / Styrofoam.
    2. Use the beaker / Styrofoam to fill 100ml tap water. Record as m2
    when measure mass of the beaker with tap water.
    3. Record as T1 when read the initial temperature of tap water.
    4. Fill 100ml water to another empty beaker.
    5. Using electric kettle or Bunsen burner to boil the tap water about 10
    minutes.
    6. In figure 1 record T2 when reading the temperature of the hot water.
    If using Styrofoam.
    7. Use the Styrofoam containing 100ml tap water and pour 100ml hot
    water gently into it. Record as m3 weight the mass of the Styrofoam.
    If using beaker.
    7. Use the beaker containing 100ml hot water and pour 100ml tap
    water gently into it. Record as m3 weight the mass of the beaker.

    8. Record the final temperature as Tfinal while stir the mixture slowly
    about 10 seconds.

    The mixture, Tfinal

    Use the values


    and 1b above to answer the following question.
    Mass of tap water = mcold = m2-m1
    Mass of hot water = mhot = m3-m2
    Mass of water mixture = mcold + mhot

    Table 1a
    from the table 1a

    16.36 - 61.96 = 34.4


    g
    131.21 96.36 = 34.85
    g
    34.4 34.85 = 69.25
    g

    CALCULATION
    Calculate Tfinal using the following equation:-

    Tfinal = [ (mhot x Thot) + (mcold x Tcold) ]


    (mhot + mcold)
    Tfinal (from experiment)

    59C

    Tfinal (from calculation)

    (34.85g x 80C) + (34.4 x


    25C)

    (34.85 + 34.4)
    =52.68C
    % Error = ( I theoretical actual I /
    theoretical ) x 100 (same as 100 - % yield)

    52.68 59 x 100
    52.68
    = 11.99%

    ANALYSIS
    Energy thermal system or thermal equilibrium is achieved when two
    substances reach the same temperature and exchange to heat energy. We
    calculate the gram (g) of the mass and Celsius (C) of the temperature.
    The apparatus we using is mercury thermometer, beaker, Bunsen burner,
    or electric kettle, electronic balance/beam balance, tripod stand and wire
    gauze and lighter gun. Due to error in reading on the percentage error, we
    can find this error by using the Tfinal (from experiment) and Tfinal (from
    calculation). We carry out the experiment twice and we found that the
    reading is not the same.

    QUESTION
    1. Does the final temperature in this experiment is equal with the final
    temperature in calculation?
    -No.
    2. If both of the final temperatures are not the same, explain why and
    relate to thermal equilibrium principle?
    -Because two objects at the thermal equilibrium have the same
    temperature and there is no net transfer of heat energy between
    the objects.

    CONCLUSION
    -After the experiment, we should be able to gain thermal equilibrium. We
    also know on how to determine the final temperature. As student, we can
    also know on how to find the result of the empty beaker, beaker with
    200ml cold water (tap water), and beaker 250ml hot water. We also can

    found the temperature of the cold water (tap water), temperature of hot
    water and the temperature of the mixture of water.
