Purpose
Determine whether or not the dissolving of certain salts in water will result in an
exothermic or endothermic reaction.

Procedure

Measure exactly 50 grams of water in three different containers.

Measure the temperature of each container of water.
Measure 1, 2, and 3 grams of KCl.
Pour each amount of KCl into each container of water.
Stir until fully dissolved.
Measure the new temperature of each container of water.
Repeat process for NH4NO3 and CaCl.
Calculate the heat lost/gained by each solution.
