AB  - The goal of this experiment is to help students overcome misconceptions about the difference between heat and temperature.  Specifically addressed is the misconception that a substance must be hot to boil. This experiment teaches that boiling requires heat but not necessarily be hot. The engineering application of this concept is fundamental to cooling systems. 

One traditional experiment to determine the boiling temperature at a range of pressures instructs students to manipulate a small bubble within a tube. While this experiment does enable collection of accurate data, watching numbers change as data is collected lacks the impact to provide a memorable experience to change strongly held misconceptions. 

In this experiment, students use a flask containing a liquid with a low boiling point and drop the pressure within the flask. The benefit of using this much larger quantity of liquid than the traditional experiment is that the student can hold the flask and use the sense of touch while the liquid is boiling at a range of temperatures including below 0°C. Using the sense of touch in addition to measuring the temperature and pressure electronically helps students reject the idea that a substance must be hot to boil and replacing this idea with the requirement that heat must be provided to the system for it to boil.  In addition, the data gathered can be used with the Clausius-Clapeyron equation to determine the heat of vaporization as is the intent of the traditional experiment. Additionally, students locate the corresponding data in thermodynamic tables and plot the process on phase diagrams to improve understanding use of these tools.
