Thermochemistry Lab

Run a coffee-cup calorimeter, practise every thermochemistry calculation with animated worked solutions, build Hess's law energy staircases and see heat at work in cold packs, food and your own body. Nothing here is graded.

An ideal coffee-cup calorimeter: no heat escapes and the cup itself absorbs nothing. Solutions are treated as water (1.00 g/mL, c = 4.184 J/(g·°C)). Time runs much faster than a real experiment, and particle speeds are exaggerated so you can see them change. The numbers follow q = mcΔT exactly.
