Household batteries (the usual suspects: AA, AAA, C, D, 9-volt) can be recycled through battery retailers like Batteries Plus. While you save up enough old batteries to make it worth a disposal trip, keep your dead batteries in a dry place that's out of reach of kids.
Water temperature is vital. Doing it correctly, you can make what many say is the perfect cup of coffee. Ideally, you want the temperature between 195 and 200 degrees F. One way to do this is to boil the water and use an âinstant readâ thermometer from any kitchen store.
You wish to heat water to make coffee. How much heat (in joules) must be used to raise the temperature of 0.180 kg of tap water (enough for one cup of coffee) from 19C to 96C (near the ideal brewing temperature)? Assume the speciï¬c heat is that of pure water, 4.18 J /(gC).
