In an experiment, when 12.0 g of potassium nitrate, KNO₃, is dissolved in 100 cm³ of water, the temperature drops by 4.20 °C.

List TWO pieces of apparatus necessary to conduct the experiment in a school laboratory. State how EACH piece of apparatus is used.

The mark scheme is shown once you've answered.
