REFLECTION
Are you comfortable with the concepts of heat and internal energy? Can you compare the internal energy of equal masses of a solid, a liquid and a gas at the same temperature? Can you solve calorimetry problems? Can you explain why the temperature stays constant during a phase change? Can you describe the three methods of heat transfer? Can you work with luminosity and apparent brightness?
