calorimetry

Science is often intrinsically linked to quantification; the ability to report accurate data to peers and colleagues provides the basis for reproducibility. What are some simple ways that we think about measurements and error? Let’s learn to be scientifically conversational.

A quick little intro to how we measure the heat of reactions and calibrate a calorimeter. Most info on this podcast is put into practice in the question videos on youtube. The youtube channel you need to look at is 'www.youtube.com/mrjasongoudie' Notes can be found on the edmodo group: code: 'v2buva'. Feel free to discuss the podcast and any other chemistry topics there with other students and teachers. Three videos Part 1: Basic heat of solution: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-M1um6APZUo Part 2: Calibration of a calorimeter and heat of reaction calculation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFRf_CbsYPI Part 3: Combining thermochemical equations: http://youtu.be/xIkKAv-YKBU Part 4: setting up a calorimeter: still to come.

Whew! I completed this podcast using the touchpad on the laptop. It's a MESS but it wil get the point across.
