You are a newly appointed technical assistant at a large
chemical plant, Chemcalequip. As part of your induction
period and to progress in your role, you have to
demonstrate skills in a range of practical procedures and
techniques. Part of your role is to ensure equipment is
calibrated and equipment and chemicals are safety
checked.
Vocational Scenario or You need to demonstrate your ability to use a calorimeter
Context and associated equipment to obtain data to determine,
analyse and evaluate the rate of cooling of substances. You
will need to present evidence of your practical skills analysis
and evaluation in a report.
Include in a report; Title, Aim, Brief Risk Assessment,
Diagram, Method, Results (cooling curves)
Conclusion and Evaluation.
Task 1 Produce a report to evaluate the accuracy of your
practical work in calorimetry.
Ensure you have checked the calibration of a digital and
liquid thermometer before use. Draw conclusions about any
thermometer that may not be properly calibrated.
You will need to demonstrate that you can correctly
select appropriate equipment and set it up.
Use the equipment safely to heat the solid
substance(s) to above the melting point, measure
temperature, at appropriate intervals as it cools and
record the data in a table of your own design.
Use the data to construct cooling curves for two
substances (stearic acid and beeswax.)
When planning your data collection, you may wish to
