Carolina® Chemistry Topic Bundles: Thermochemistry

Bring the heat as you introduce students to thermochemistry. Save time and money with this bundle of 3 Carolina chemistry kits. Bundle includes 1 demonstration kit, Hot Demonstrations with Flameless Ration Heaters Kit (item #840323), and 2 classroom kits, Carolina ChemKits®: It's Not the Heat, It's Thermochemistry (item #840744) and Inquiries in Science®: Examining Thermochemistry Kit (item #251209). Classroom kit materials are sufficient for at least 30 students working in groups of 2 or 3.

Get warmed up with the Hot Demonstrations with Flameless Ration Heaters Kit (item #840323). Explore the chemistry of flameless ration heaters (FRH) using this 6-activity demonstration kit. Disassemble an FRH and demonstrate the physical properties of its components. Students observe the physical and chemical properties of FRH components and, together with the observed corrosion reaction, use this information to identify the reactants and products for a balanced FRH reaction. Great activity for teaching chemical reactions or as an introduction to thermochemistry. Extension activities are included. Materials are sufficient for the 6 demos to be performed 5 times.

Keep the fire for learning burning with Carolina ChemKits®: It's Not the Heat, It's Thermochemistry (item #840744). Students investigate the thermodynamics of physical and chemical changes that absorb and release heat energy with this 2-activity kit. They calculate the heats of solution of 2 salt compounds and determine the heat of combustion of a hydrocarbon. For both activities, students write balanced thermochemical equations for the reactions and classify them as endothermic or exothermic. Kit activities take about 45 min. Kit materials are sufficient for a 30-student class.

Set engagement ablaze with the Inquiries in Science®: Examining Thermochemistry Kit (item #251209). Students discover how chemical and physical changes can absorb and release heat energy. After measuring the heat of combustion for a common fuel and the heats of solution for some common salts, students design a hot pack and a cold pack that could be used as portable first-aid devices. Kit includes enough materials for at least 30 students working in groups.
