Original work

1.Graph the data points using an Excel spreadsheet; time in seconds on the x-axis and

temperature on the y-axis. The graph should look similar to the sample cooling curve below.

2. Place a ruler on the declining temperature portion of the curve and extrapolate to the 0-line.

Read the extrapolated temperature where the straight line intersects the 0-time line. This

temperature represents the final temperature of the mixture. Enter this temperature in Data
