Some additional articles describing laboratory exercises using calorimetry measurements are listed below. The solution calorimeter described by Hughes and co-workers can be used in these exercises. The Stoichiometry of the Neutralization of Citric Acid: An Introductory Laboratory. J. Chem. Educ. 1995, 72, 1029. Heat of Solution: Hot Packs. J. Chem. Educ. 1994, 71, 791. Simple Heat Flow Measurements: A Closer Look at Polystyrene Cup Calorimeters. J. Chem. Educ. 1994, 71, 793. Copper/Aluminum Surprise. J. Chem. Educ. 1990, 67, 165. How Good Is Your Bleach? J. Chem. Educ. 1989, 66, 973.
In a recent article and related JCE Classroom Activity, students perform quantitative calorimetric measurements on samples of ice/water heated by incandescent light bulbs and by room-temperature surroundings. They make connections between the measurements and global warming. A Simple Calorimetric Experiment That Highlights Aspects of Global Heat Retention and Global Warming. 2007, 84, 1686. Hold the Heat: Global Warming and Calorimetry. J. Chem. Educ. 2008, 85, 224A.
