Endo-exo

Homework is to complete the Energy Diagram  lab from class, as well as the two math worksheets also handed out.  The first worksheet is Temperature scales (converting between Fahrenheit, Celsius and Kelvin scales - if you need help, look in textbook 5.7 or online); the second worksheet is about specific heat capacity calculations.  The answers are linked at the bottom of the page. As you know, there may be errors.   These  worksheets should be finished by next Monday, but be sure to get going now so you can ask questions on Thursday if needed.

The textbook sections to cover is chapter 10.4-10.5.
Q = mcΔT
Q is the energy in joules
m is mass in grams
c is the specific heat (from the chart) and the unit is J/g°C (the textbook uses s instead of c) 
ΔT is the change in temperature in °C. It could be positive or negative.

  2. On the study guide for the Specific Heat worksheet, it says that 5,007/1.184 is 124.6. It is really about 1,196.
