Compare and contrast physical changes with chemical changes.

Aglow stick contains a glass vial with chemicals. when the glow stick is bent, the vial breaks and the chemicals react to produce a glow. a science student observes that a glow stick kept in the freezer glows for a longer duration than a glow stick kept at room temperature. what conclusion can be drawn based on the observation? be sure to note the outcome and test variables in the conclusion.

Acalorimeter is to be calibrated: 51.203 g of water at 55.2 degree c is added to a calorimeter containing 49.783 g of water at 23.5c. after stirring and waiting for the system to equilibrate, the final temperature reached is 37.6 degree c. specific heat capacity of water (s = 4.18 j/g∙degree c). calculate the calorimeter constant. (smδt)warm water = -[(smδt)cold water + (calorimeterδtcold water)]
