This Freezing Puddle Experiment Will Change How You See Chemistry

Describe the heat transfer and change in kinetic energy during a phase change. Determine how the addition of solutes affects the freezing rate of water. Using a second temperature probe and sample, you will also see the effect on freezing temperature when a small amount of another substance, benzoic acid, is dissolved in the. In the science lab, temperature measurements will help crystalize students’ thoughts around freezing and connect the phase change with particle motion. To set up this experiment, you’ll.
