Curva de calentamiento del etanol. Un caso para el manejo de datos experimentales
Se presenta una actividad experimental sencilla, de bajos riesgo y costo, para estudiantes de los primeros cursos experimentales del 谩rea qu铆mica enfocada a la obtenci贸n y manejo de datos; en particular, para aplicar el m茅todo gr谩fico y, a partir de cambios de variable, obtener una relaci贸n funcional emp铆rica entre las variables relevantes del experimento. El experimento consiste en calentar etanol, desde una temperatura menor a O 潞C, hasta la temperatura ambiente. Se presentan resultados de un grupo de estudiantes junto con su propuesta de cambio de variables y la relaci贸n funcional que encuentran a partir de ella. Se mencionan algunas sugerencias que se les hicieron para mejorar, tanto la obtenci贸n de datos, como su tratamiento y, a partir de ellas, reflexionar acerca de qu茅 y cu谩les son las variables relevantes del experimento. Con las nuevas variables obtienen una representaci贸n gr谩fica que mostr贸 una tendencia cercana a la lineal.A simple experimental activity, which is low in risk and cost, is presented. lt is intended for the first-year college students to develop abilities to obtain and manage data from the experiments, to use them in graphical method and, by proposing an adequate variable change, to get an empirical relationship between the experiment relevant variables. The experiment consists in heating ethanol from temperatures lower than O 潞C to room temperature. Results from the analysis performed by a group of students, together with his proposal about variable change and the relationship they found from it are mentioned. Sorne ideas which were suggested to them to improve the way they collect data as well as its analytical treatment are also mentioned, in such a way, that students think about what and which ones the relevant variables are. With their proposal they got a graphical representation which resembles a linear tendency
