The skeptical question topic for this unit is auto engine efficiency. Skeptical questions are thoughtful "Why-based" questions which address biases in scientific material. This type of question is not seeking scientific facts.
The article associated with this unit is listed below:
Entropy (2nd Law of Thermodynamics)
Micro vs Macro States
Macro vs Micro State Examples
"The distribution with the greatest number of microstates is preferred statistically. A greater number of microstates leads to greater "disorder" or entropy"
Gibbs Free Energy and Entropy Calculations
The purpose of this lab is to investigate and describe a thermodynamic change event.
Questions:
How does the cooling of water follow the Laws of Thermodynamics?
What mathematical model best describes the cooling of water?
If-Then-Due-To Hypothesis:
"If water is allowed to cool, then it will follow Newton's Law of Cooling due to the Laws of Thermodynamics."
Variables: (x) lab groups, (y) water cooling equation
Constants: water as a test substance
Control: University of Georgia equation
