Determine the temperature change that occurs when 10.6 g of potassium perchlorate is dissolved with enough water to make 102.3 ml of solution. (assume a heat capacity of 4.05 j/g⋅∘c for the solution and a density of 1.05 g/ml.)

Temperature is defined as a. the equivalent of heat. b. a measure of the average kinetic energy of the individual atoms or molecules composing a substance. c. how hot or cold it is. d. the total kinetic energy of the atoms or molecules composing a substance. e. none of the above is correct.
