Alternative Blog for Week of Dec 8-12th: Thermochemistry

Scholars,

Due to lack of findings on the previous blog for this week, I've decided to put an alternative challenge out there for you. You need to go out there online and find a thermochemistry problem like the ones we've been solving in class (calorimetry, heat of rxn, specific heat, etc) post it and solve it. Happy Last Week Before Break!!!

Week of Dec. 8-12th Discussion:

Scholars,

I was having a discussion with a fellow scholar this week on how what tool/instrument measures some of the hottest things in the world, like Lava for example. This week do some research and find an article or website that would lead me to my answer.

Feliz Dias

Week Dec. 1st-7th : The Turkey Sleep

Hey Scholars,

Well I don't know about you but I had a wonderful Thanksgiving and I hope you all did too. But... I was aweful tired after eating all of that food. It has been a rumor that tryptophan is the culprit of my tiredness. For this weeks post tell me what kind of chemical is tryptophan and an article proving or disproving the rumor. Have a great Week
