        2.8.1 define the terms exothermic and endothermic and understand that chemical reactions are usually accompanied by heat changes;
        2.8.7 calculate enthalpy changes from experimental data using the equation q = mcΔT;
        2.8.8 demonstrate an understanding of the principle of conservation of energy and define Hess’s Law;
        2.8.9 construct enthalpy cycles using Hess’s Law;
