For this assignment, I investigated the cooling curves of stearic acid and paraffin wax to determine and compare their melting points. I carried out practical experiments by heating the substances until they melted and recording their temperatures at one-minute intervals as they cooled. I also calibrated different thermometers to determine which provided the most accurate and precise measurements. I presented my results using tables and cooling curve graphs and analysed the changes in temperatur...

This assignment explores two key practical investigations: the calibration of digital and alcohol thermometers, and the analysis of cooling curves for paraffin wax and stearic acid. The thermometer calibration was conducted using ice water and boiling water to assess measurement accuracy. The cooling curve experiment involved heating and cooling 8g samples of both substances, recording temperature changes at one-minute intervals over 17 minutes. The resulting data was analyzed to identify phase ...

Introduction: This experiment was designed to investigate the link between temperature changes and physical changes in cooling curves using paraffin wax and stearic acid as examples. A cooling curve is a graph that shows how something cools over time. To do this, I had to use different techniques with a tool called a calorimeter to learn about the curves better. Calorimetry is a method scientists use to measure heat during reactions or changes. They use a device called a calorimeter to do this....
