'''The Heat Equation''' <br> <br> The heat equation is used to determine the heat gained or lost during a reaction. <br> <br> '''Procedures''' <br> Step 1: Identify your system and your surroundings. The system is what you are working with in the equation. <br> Step 2: Give values to the variables. <br> Step 3: Solve for x <br> <br> '''Example 1''' <br> 500 g of water is in a calorimeter. An endothermic reaction takes place. After the reaction, the temperature of the water in the calorimeter dropped from 34 degC to 24 degC. How much energy did the reaction take in? <br> <br> '''Step 1:''' <br> Water=system <br> Reaction=surrounding <br> Step 2: <br> ''deltaH'' (change in energy) x (In this case deltaH will turn out to be negative, because our system is losing energy.)
