Re: Thermodynamics B/C
Gibbs Free Energy is Div C only, I haven't seen it on any Div B tests.

Re: Thermodynamics B/C
Gibbs free is pretty easy. Just include a table denoting what happens for each temperature-enthalpy scenario.

Re: Thermodynamics B/C
B-divisioners aren't tested on enthalpy or entropy so I don't think it's really applicable anywayJoeyC wrote:Gibbs free is pretty easy. Just include a table denoting what happens for each temperature-enthalpy scenario.

Re: Thermodynamics B/C
Does anyone know what a good Total Score would be? I was thinking maybe around mid 70's is competitive? But I'm not sure.

Re: Thermodynamics B/C
Everything is relative to the specific competition you're at. It's not like a build where you know what good scores are.UTF-8 U+6211 U+662F wrote:Depends on which test you're takingCPScienceDude wrote:Does anyone know what a good Total Score would be?

Re: Thermodynamics B/C
Does each graph/chart have to contain different independent and dependent variables or can each have Temperature vs. Time?
The biologist speculates, "What's the meaning of life?"
The physicist asks, "In the universe, does matter really matter?"
The chemist replies, "I shall find solutions to both questions."

Re: Thermodynamics B/C
Isn't time and temperature the independent and dependent variables? For me, I just use temperature over time and get full point for it, so you should be fine with just Temp vs. Time.geniusjohn5 wrote:Does each graph/chart have to contain different independent and dependent variables or can each have Temperature vs. Time?
