Hot Plate (SE-8830)

This compact and durable hot plate can reach up to 400 °C in minutes. The cast aluminum top plate provides an even heating surface, and it even has a built in support rod holder.

Energy Transfer - Calorimeter (ET-8499)

This unique calorimeter uses a heating resistor instead of a spring coil to heat a small amount of water.

Calorimetry Cups (6) (TD-8825A)

Styrofoam calorimeter cups for beginning Calorimetry. Set of six.

Specfic Heat Set (SE-6849)

Has five different materials, all having same mass (80g). Each has a hole to tie a loop of string to hang the samples in water.

Specific Heat

Use a fast response temperature sensor to determine the identity of an unknown metal by calculating the specific heat of the metal and comparing it to a list of known values.

Enthalpy of a Chemical Reaction

Use a stainless steel temperature sensor to derive the enthalpy change of a reaction.

Featured in PASCO’s Advanced Chemistry Teacher Guide

Use a temperature sensor to determine the molar heat of solution for sodium hydroxide and ammonium chloride when they are dissolved in water, and the molar heat of reaction when magnesium reacts with hydrochloric acid.

Hess's Law

Use a temperature sensor to show that the change in enthalpy for the reaction between solid sodium hydroxide and aqueous hydrochloric acid can be determined using both a direct and an indirect method.
