A Simple Calorimetric Experiment That Highlights Aspects of Global Heat Retention and Global Warming Joel D. Burley and Harold S. Johnston
In this laboratory experiment, general chemistry students verify that heat is consumed in the melting of ice, with no increase in temperature until all the ice has melted. The fundamental calorimetric principles demonstrated by the lab results are then developed to help students better assess and understand the experimental evidence associated with global warming.

The q/T Paradox: Which "Contains More Heat", a Cup of Coffee at 95°C or a Liter of Icewater? Ed Vitz and Michael J. Schuman
In this demonstration, heat is removed from 10 cm3 of water at ~95C and 42 cm3 of water at ~0C by adding each to a measured sample of liquid nitrogen. The heat removed from the water boils the N2(l), and the quantity of liquid nitrogen that is evaporated by boiling is determined. The quantity of heat that was absorbed is calculated from the heat of vaporization of liquid nitrogen and found to be about 10,000 J in the case of the hot water and 25,000 J in the case of the icewater.

Let's Drive "Driving Force" Out of Chemistry Norman C. Craig
"Driving force" is identified as a misleading concept in analyzing spontaneous change. Driving force wrongly suggests that Newtonian mechanics and determinism control and explain spontaneous processes. The usefulness of the competition of ?H versus ?S in discussing chemical change is also questioned. Entropy analyseswhich consider the contributions to the total change in entropyare advocated.

An Alternative Thermochemical Container Robert G. Silberman
Dean Campbell suggests a clever, readily available, and simple alternative to the calorimeters described in my article. I tried his suggestion and egg cartons work well with the appropriate scale up of materials. The only advantage I see to the calorimeter I described is somewhat greater durability and need for smaller amounts of chemicals.
