Procedure

1. All Safety Equipment was obtained and worn.

2. All Materials such as a Lab Apron, goggles, balance, distilled water jar,
thermometer, 4 Styrofoam cups, and 8-10g of an unknown salt.
3. 100.0g of water were then measured in a Styrofoam cup using the scale.
4. Approximately 5.00g of Unknown Salt were measured using the scale.
5. A calorimeter apparatus was setup using three Styrofoam cups for better
insulation.
6. Three Styrofoam cups were then placed in one another. This was then
repeated for the top of the calorimeter.
7. A piece of tape to fit the radius of the cup was then cut.
8. A hole the thickness of the thermometer was then made through the
Styrofoam cups.
9. The initial temperature of the water was then recorded.
10. 5.00g of the unknown salt were then poured into the water.
11. The solution was then stirred.
12. The lid was placed and the sides were taped to minimize the escape of heat.
13. Observations such as mass used, color intensity and temperature were taken
and recorded.
14. All Materials were then put away and cleaned the unknown solutions were
then poured back into the teachers sink.
