How do you determine if a reaction is endothermic or exothermic based on the temperature change of the solution?
-If the temperature of the solution increases, it indicates that the reaction is exothermic (releasing heat). Conversely, if the temperature decreases, the reaction is endothermic (absorbing heat).
What is the enthalpy change of a reaction when given the temperature change of water?

What is the significance of specific heat capacity in determining the final temperature of a mixture of substances at different temperatures?
-The specific heat capacity determines how much heat energy is required to raise the temperature of a substance. A substance with a higher specific heat capacity will experience a smaller temperature change for a given amount of heat energy, which influences the final equilibrium temperature when substances are mixed.
How do you calculate the heat energy absorbed or released by a water sample when a metal is cooled in it?
