Question

In this simulation, there was no lid on the beaker to keep the steam from escaping. If the steam was trapped and it’s temperature was monitored, would you expect the temperature to increase or remain constant? Explain.

Answer 1

Figure 1. In a calorimetric determination, either (a) an exothermic process occurs and heat, q, is negative, indicating that thermal energy is transferred from the system to its surroundings, or (b) an endothermic process occurs and heat, q, is positive, indicating that thermal energy is transferred from the surroundings to the system.
