Question 26

In another experiment, a student investigated the temperature increase when different masses of anhydrous calcium chloride were dissolved in 50 cm3 of water.

The apparatus used is shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1: Diagram of the experimental setup showing a thermometer placed inside a polystyrene cup containing water, with the cup supported inside a glass beaker for stability.

The student used the following method:

Step 1: Measure 50 cm3 of water into the polystyrene cup. Step 2: Record the starting temperature of the water. Step 3: Add 2.0 g of anhydrous calcium chloride and stir the mixture. Step 4: Record the maximum temperature reached. Step 5: Repeat the experiment using different masses of anhydrous calcium chloride.

Name a piece of apparatus that should be used to measure the 50 cm3 of water in Step 1.
