Coffee Cup Calorimeter

How to use: Pick a salt and a mass. Press the button and read the water temperature. Then use q = m × c × ΔT to find the heat.

Salt to dissolve Mass of salt: 5.00 g

Water: 100.0 g at 22.0 °C

Final temperature: 22.0 °C
ΔT = 0.0 °C

q = m × c × ΔT
q = (100.0 g)(4.18 J/g·°C)(0.0 °C) = 0 J

Heat per gram of salt: 0 J/g

Press the button.
