Activity a1-07: Kettle Lab
Determine the Efficiency of a kettle
You and you randomly selected partner must come up with a procedure to
measure the efficiency of a store bought kettle or chemistry hot plate. You
will be provided with a temperature probe / logger pro, distilled water, a
timer, a scale / graduated cylinder and any other items that you think are
pertinent. This activity MUST be completed by the end of the class. |
Task:
Complete Lab in a word document and submit it to the appropriate folder
on www.turnitin.com.All that
is required is your detailed protocol and your calculations determining the
efficiency of the kettle. If you like, you can also
include your data in a table form (don't forget a title though).
Only one lab per group is required - make sure that
you include your partner's name in the assignment!
