Colegio de Montalban San Jose, Rodriguez, Rizal: Institute of Education

The document is a midterm exam in thermodynamics covering multiple choice questions, problem solving questions, calculating enthalpy changes from bond energies, and essay questions. The multiple choice section covers concepts like conduction, convection, boiling points, insulators, the first and second laws of thermodynamics. The problem solving requires converting between Celsius, Fahrenheit and Kelvin scales and calculating moles and mass. The essay questions ask about weight limits on bridges based on vehicle axles and checking tire pressure when cold versus hot.
