Question

Why is it important to collect temperature data over time, rather than using either the maximum temperature displayed on the calorimeter readout or the final calorimeter temperature?

A) Maximum obserbed temperature was not the projected max due to drift and heat losses, so a program estimed what the max temp should have been

B) Measurements over time were used because the reaction was slow

C) We couldn't wait for the temperaure to become stable

D) Time avergaing is always the best way to collect data
