Chemistry Investigation: Calorimetry Rajarshi Putatunda 11T The experimental technique used to find out the heat energy absorbed or released during a chemical reaction is known as Calorimetry. The reaction I am going to look at in this investigation is the reaction between Zinc (Zn) and Copper Sulphate (CuSO ). This is a displacement reaction and when the two substances react together, the zinc replaces the copper in the copper sulphate to form zinc sulphate. The reaction is shown in a symbol equation below: The reaction is an exothermic reaction as heat is given off. Zn (s) + CuSO (aq) = ZnSO (aq) + Cu (s) In this investigation, I am going look at how the change in the mass of zinc affects the heat energy released during the reaction. Here are the equipment needed for the investigation: * Polystyrene cup with a polystyrene lid * Copper sulphate solution * Zinc powder * Thermometer * Beaker Here is the method:...
