11.5 Thermo Mini Lab Name: /Jno.

Purpose:
Today we are exploring the difference between exothermic and endothermic reactions. We will
be performing two small reactions and evaluating the differences between the two of them.

Materials:
- Vinegar
Baking soda
Calcium chloride
Water
Thermometer
2 small beakers
1 medium beaker
1 graduated cylinder
1 electronic balance

Procedure 1:
1. Pour 10 ml of vinegar into one of the small beakers. Then, place a thermometer into
the vinegar. Record the initial temperature (T;) in the table below.
2. While the thermometer is in the cup, add about 5g of baking soda to the cup.
3. Watch the thermometer for any change in temperature. After it has stopped changing,
record the final temperature (Tt) and any other observations you made in the table
below.

Procedure 2:
1. Make a baking soda solution by dissolving about 10g of baking soda in 50ml of water
in a medium sized beaker. Stir until no more baking soda will dissolve.
2. Place about 10 ml of baking soda solution in a clean small beaker. Then , place a
thermometer into the baking soda solution in the small beaker. Record the initial
temperature (T;) in the table below.
3. While the thermometer is in the small beaker, add 5g of calcium chloride to the small
beaker.
4. Watch the thermometer for any change in temperature. After it has ·stopped changing,
record the final temperature (Tt) and any other observations you made in the table
below.
