Given the connection between Aw and K (Aw=2k) could you use the ideal gas law and derive the Boltzmann constant. Water freezes at 546.3 Aw and absolute zero is at 0 Aw. (Aw is an arbitrary temperature scale.) solved, divide boltzmann constant by 2

chemical changes occur when a substance combines with another to form a new substance, called chemical synthesis or, alternatively, chemical decomposition into two or more different substances. these processes are called chemical reactions and, in general, are not reversible except by further chemical reactions. some reactions produce heat and are called exothermic reactions and others may require heat to enable the reaction to occur, which are called endothermic reactions. understanding chemical changes is a major part of the science of chemistry.
