HOPES APPARATUS
|
To show that water has a maximum density at 4°
C.
Consists of a sheet metal cylinder, with two tubes in the upper
and lower regions for inserting thermometers through rubber stoppers.
Mounted on a base and encircled midway by an outer trough for
holding a mixture of ice and salt. Temperature of the water is
measured at the top and bottom of the inner cylindrical vessel
over a period as the water cools. Supplied without the thermometer.
|
LIQUID EXPANSION BULB (EXPANSION BULB)
|
For demonstrating and determining the coefficient of volume expansion of liquids when heated.
Consists of a borosilicate glass bulb to hold 10mL of a liquid, in a capillary stem with a funnel at the top. The capillary stem is graduated to 0.5mL, subdivided every 0.01mL.
|
AIR THERMOMETER BULB
|
For the qualitative study of expansion of liquids, the principles of thermometry, and the rise and fall of a liquid column due to expansion or contraction of air in a bulb.
Consists of a borosilicate glass bulb of diameter approximately 50mm with a 30cm long stem of 5mm bore.
|
MELTING POINT APPARATUS
|
For determining the melting point of solid substances.
(upper limit 250°C)
Consists of an aluminum cylinder (l x d), 50 x 63mm with a slanted
hole of diameter 7mm on the top for inserting a thermometer. Can
be heated on a burner. The substance to be melted is placed on
the top of the cylinder. Melting point is noted when melting occurs.
