Assignment Due Thursday, May 8, 2025
Wednesday, May 7, 2025
In this class we will continue our look at energy and heat by focusing on the flow and units of heat in a chemical system.
Heat, Temperature, and Heat Flow
Assignment Due Friday, May 9, 2025
Thursday, May 8, 2025
In this class we will continue our look at energy and heat by focusing applications of exothermic and endothermic systems, along with heat capacity.
Heat Flow and Heat Capacity
Assignment Due Monday, May 12, 2025
Friday – Monday, May 9 – 12, 2025
In this class we will perform Lab 8, The heat capacity of a liquid. During the lab we will measure the time vs temp to find the heat curve and heat capacity of a liquid.
Lab Due Tuesday, May 13, 2025
Given data for Lab 9 (Do not use this data, sample only)
