Calorimetry
exercise 3

A current of 2.73 A was passed through the heating coil of a calorimeter for one minute at a potential difference of 6.00 V. The temperature increased from 20.340 to 22.440 degrees Celsius.

N =14, C = 12, O = 16, H =1, K =39

0.996 grams of ammonium nitrate was dissolved in a calorimeter and the temperature dropped from 20.34 to 19.668.
