In this free lab students will use a simple calorimeter to determine the heat of crystallization (solidification) of a wax sample. This lab provides an excellent “visual and hands-on” lesson on the heat exchange that occurs during crystallization.
Suitable for physical science and chemistry students in grades 9-12.
