Module 1: Lesson 5 Assignment

 

Evaluating Different Fuels

 

How would what you know about molar enthalpy apply to choosing a fuel for your ecotour operation? Are there other aspects to consider in your choice of fuel?

 

Retrieve your copy of the Module 1: Lesson 5 Assignment that you saved to your computer earlier in this lesson. Complete Part 2—Evaluating Different Fuels. You will receive information later in the lesson on when to submit your work to your teacher.

 

Place a copy of your answers in your ecotour planning sub-folder. This is the fourth of six assignments that you can submit as part of your Module 1 Assessment. For more information, refer to the Module 1 Assessment.

 

Read

 

Reviews and summaries are an important part of learning. Read the “Summary” section on page 493 of the textbook.

 

Try This

 

To review what you have learned in the first five lessons in Module 1, try one of the following learning strategies:

• Review the concept map or graphic organizer you have been adding to throughout Module 1. Remember to use linking statements to explain how you understand the concepts to be connected.
  
  
• Use the Module 1 Concept Organizer as a starting point for another style of summarixing information (e.g., a list of key words, a concept map, a flow chart, or an outline).
  
  
• Review the lesson glossaries by covering up the definitions and defining each term in your own words.
  
  
• Create test questions and answers on flash cards.
  
  
• Write a script and record an audio file, podcast, or video introducing and explaining the major points listed in the “Summary” section on page 493 of the textbook.

Save your work in your course folder.

 

Reflect on the Big Picture

Earlier in this lesson you were asked to prepare a list of similarities and differences between enthalpy change and molar enthalpy. You realized there are many subtle differences to keep in mind as you continue to work through Unit 1.

 

One way to demonstrate your understanding of a concept is to create an analogy. An analogy explains a concept by comparing it to a similar but more familiar concept. For example, to express how fast people drive on German highways, you might say “Driving on the Autobahn in Germany is like driving on a racetrack.”

 

RBP 1. Develop an analogy to explain what a molar enthalpy value is or is not. Your analogy may need to be more than one sentence.

 

Share your analogy with your classmates using the discussion area for your class. Submit a copy of your analogy to your teacher and save a copy in your course folder.
