Thanks, I will submit a clarification. I always do, but it is really nice to have an idea of what the answer is going to be in advance!

When will more information be on the website? There are virtually no resources to go by. Thermodynamics is a broad topic and I was wondering how deep we need to go in our teachings. Any info would be great!

That just occurred to me last night. And I'm responsible for populating it. I created the scoring spreadsheet and sent it around to the committee for review. I'll start digging up some resources, but to start with I recommend the Thermodynamics Wikipedia page:

It doesn't say in the rules, but are there supposed to be specific increments for time (20-40 minutes), and temperature (60-90 degrees C)? For example, could a supervisor do 100 mL for 28 minutes at 73 degrees C?

This is not an official clarification, for that you should submit through the official website. However, almost always in Science Olympiad, what is written in the rules is official and you shouldn't add extra interpretations. So, if I were running Thermodynamics at a regional as a supervisor, I would feel I was running the event correctly by saying 100 mL for 28 minutes starting at 73 degrees.

Wouldn't be hard to calculate yourself.

2nd page, first link. That worked for me.
EDIT: 1st page, 3rd link. =)
