    The document describes an experiment to investigate endothermic and exothermic reactions by measuring the temperature change of water mixed with calcium chloride or potassium nitrate over time. Students are instructed to conduct the experiment, record temperatures, draw a graph of results, and answer questions about which reaction was endothermic/exothermic and the temperature changes over time.

    Pages 160–161 and 224

    Experiment 8.3: Energy changes


    Aim
    To investigate an exothermic and an endothermic process
    Materials
     Sealed bottle containing potassium nitrate (KNO3)
     Sealed bottle containing calcium chloride (CaCl2)
     Measuring cylinder
     Water
     Stirring rod
     Thermometer
     2 foam cups (or temperature sensor)
     2 spatulas
     Stopwatch
     Wash bottle
     Residue bottle
    CAUTION: WEAR YOUR LAB COAT, SAFETY GOGGLES AND PLASTIC GLOVES. CHECK THE MATERIAL SAFETY DATA
    SHEETS TO SEE HOW TO HANDLE THE CHEMICALS IN THIS EXPERIMENT SAFELY

    This experiment may be carried out using a temperature probe and datalogging equipment instead of a
    thermometer.
    Method
    1 Prepare a table to record the times and temperatures.

    2 Measure 50 mL of water into a foam cup.

    3 Measure the temperature of the water and record it.

    4 Place three heaped spatulas full of calcium chloride into the water and immediately commence stirring
    and timing.

    5 Record the temperature every 15 seconds for 3 minutes.

    6 Dispose of the solution into the container provided and carefully rinse the thermometer with the wash
    bottle, ensuring the rinse water is also added to the residue bottle. Dispose of the cup as directed by
    your teacher.

    7 Repeat steps 2–6 using potassium nitrate.

    Results
    Draw a graph of temperature against time and plot your results from the two chemicals on the same graph.
    Make sure that you label both axes and use the correct units.

    Discussion
    1 Which reaction was endothermic and which was exothermic?

    2 In which reaction did the products have less energy than the reactants?

    3 In which reaction did the products have more energy than the reactants?

    4 Use the graphs to describe how quickly the temperature rose or fell.

    5 Did the temperature reach a steady value after some time? Discuss why you think this.

    Conclusion
    Suggest how the method used in this experiment could be changed to improve the accuracy of the results.
