Internal Energy and Enthalpy Experiment

Here is a simple experiment that demonstrates the concepts of internal energy and enthalpy. This experiment uses a vacuum desiccator to simulate the filling of an evacuated tank. Please answer the pre-lab prediction questions in the worksheet below. When ready to see the experiment, a video demonstration is available below.
