In recent weeks, students have conducted calorimetric experiments for enthalpy of reaction, investigated rates of reaction experimentally, and monitored acid-base titrations with a pH metre, analysing and evaluating their results.
For the enthalpy of reaction, they were really successful in achieving the classic textbook (and Exam Paper 3!) curve of temperature against time, using a blue-tooth temperature probe, as they monitored the temperature during the chemical reaction of copper sulphate in solution with zinc powder.
