Adjusting Thermal Properties

| Note: Adjust thermal properties for cooling or for a constant temperature.
1.) Right click on the solution for which you want to adjust thermal properties.
| The name of the glassware will become highlighted and a pop-up menu will be displayed. Mac Users: You can access the menu by pressing the Control key and single clicking on the solution.
2.) Drag the pointer down to the Thermal Properties option and single click.
| A Thermal Properties dialogue box will appear.
3.) Type the new temperature for your solution and click Ok.
| The dialogue box will disappear and the thermometer to the right of the workbench will display the new temperature. The solution will either cool or heat depending on the temperature of its environment. Select the Insulated from Surroundings option in the Thermal Properties dialogue box for the solution to hold its new temperature. Note: The maximum temperature for aqueous solutions is 99o C. At present, the Virtual Lab does not simulate boiling.
