If you have read ahead, or are comfortable with the concepts thus far, you are ready for a calorimetry experiment at home! The question we want to answer is "what is the temperature of our freezer?". 6. To begin answering this question, start by imagining what you supplies you have already used in this experiment, to make a homemade calorimeter. Write down how you will build this calorimeter below. The picture below the textbox may help you visualize how to do this. thermometer stirer insulated cover styrofoam cups 7. Now if we want to only use frozen water (ice) and room temperature water (room temperature water of four times the mass of the ice), write out the various forms of heat transfer that will occur between frozen water and room temperature water, when the come into contact. Hint: There will be one term of heat transfer from the room temperature water, and three terms of heat transfer in the ice/cold water. 8. It's time to perform the experiment! Be sure to measure out a set mass of water, say 50g, put it into a freezer bag, or plastic dish, let it freeze solid, and then place that resulting piece of ice into the 200g of room temperature water, inside your calorimeter. Seal that top with some piece of wood, cardboard, or plastic container top, but leave a spot for your thermometer to poke out! Once the temperature on your thermometer stabilizes, and you are certain the ice has melted, write down the final temperature below and solve for the initial temperature of the ice cube. That just happens to be the
