Hi Dr. Pounds. For our thermochemistry lab report, are we
supposed to calculate change in temperature using the maximum
temperature recorded, or the temperature last measured (once the
solution began to level off and cool back down)?<br>

<p>The temperature change is the difference between the two best fit
lines at the point of mixing.</p>
<p>Take a look at this sample plot...</p>
