Calorimetry
In calculating calorimetry problems, do you need to change Celcius to Kelvin in the initial and final temperatures? Or can you leave it as either or ?

Re: Calorimetry
I would recommend staying in degrees Celsius because it will easily cancel out when proportionally setting up the math.

Re: Calorimetry
It doesn't really matter if the change in temperatures are in Kelvin or Celsius because the Kelvin is in the same scale as Celsius, just +273, just make sure that the initial and final temperatures are both either in Kelvin or Celsius.
