Chem B Unit 3 Heat of Combustion Lab Replacement

The document provides instructions for completing two virtual lab problems that involve calculating the amount of milk needed to lower the temperature of coffee. Students are given information like the initial coffee temperature, desired final temperature, milk temperature, and thermochemical properties. They must use thermochemistry equations to calculate the milk volume, then verify their answer by mixing the simulated coffee and milk in the virtual lab.

Unit 3 Portfolio – Replacement for Heat of Combustion

Lab – U3L4 and U3L5(honors)


Part 1: 10 points. Go to this site: Coffee problem virtual lab

1. Click on the word coffee to see the problem.

During the summer after your first year at Carnegie Mellon, you are lucky enough to get
a job making coffee at Starbucks, but you tell your parents and friends that you have secured a
lucrative position as a ‘java engineer.’ An eccentric chemistry professor stops in every day and
orders 250 ml of house coffee at precisely 95*C. He then adds enough milk at 4*C to drop the
temperature of the coffee to 90*C.

Calculate the amount of milk, in ml, the professor must add to reach this temperature. Show all of your
work including equations and units. Assume coffee and milk have the same specific heat capacity of
4.186 J/g*C and density of 1.0 g/ml.

Step 1: Write down what is given to you in the problem


Initial temp of coffee = 95*C
Final temp = 90*C
Specific heat capacity of coffee and milk= 4.186 J/g*C
Density = 1.0 g/ml
Initial Temp of milk = 4*C

Step 2: Calculate how much energy the coffee loses when being cooled down from
95*C to 90*C. (q = C x m x ΔT ¿ (3 points)

Step 3: Calculate the mass of milk needed to cool down the coffee using the same
equation as in step 2 (you must rearrange it to solve for mass). The change in
temperature is going to be the final temp of the coffee/milk mixture minus the temp of
the milk. (4 points)

Step 4: Use the density of the milk to calculate to milliliters of milk needed. This is your
answer. (1 point)
Step 5: Use the virtual lab to make the coffee/milk solution and verify that your
calculated answer is correct. (2 points)
 Click on the solutions in the stockroom. Click on the coffee. It will be added to
the workbench. Click on the milk to add it to the workbench as well. There
should be 250 mL of coffee in the flask.
 Click on stockroom, then glassware, and choose a beaker or flask in which to
mix your coffee/milk.
 Right click on your beaker/flask, choose thermal properties, and check the box
labeled “insulate from surroundings.” Press OK.
 Drag the coffee towards your beaker/flask as if to pour – a window should pop
up for you to type how much to pour. Pour 250 mL of coffee into the
beaker/flask. The temperature should be 95*C.
 Drag the milk to the beaker/flask to pour. Add the number of milliliters you
calculated in number 1 to the beaker/flask with the coffee. Record the new
temperature here: __________________.
 If the new temperature is 90*C you solved the problem correctly. If it is not
90*C, check your work and try again.

Part 2: 10 points. Go to this site: CLICK HERE

Click the arrow next to Thermochemistry

Click the green go button next to the Coffee Problem.

Read the problem and solve just as you did in part 1. Be sure to write down what was given to you in
the problem as these problems are different for everyone! (4 points)

Amount of coffee: ______ ml

Initial temp of coffee: ______*C

Final temp of coffee (after adding milk) ________*C

Temp of milk: _________*C

Density of milk and coffee: 1.0 g/mL

Specific heat of milk and coffee: 4.184 J/g*C

Calculate the amount of milk needed. Show all work, include units and equations used. (4 points)

Describe how you prepared the beverage in the virtual lab. (2 points)
