Calorimetry is the process of measuring the amount of heat released or absorbed during a chemical reaction. By knowing the change in heat, it can be determined whether or not a reaction is exothermic (releases heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat).
Q calorimeter represents the calorimeter and everything in it. That is, all the heat exchanged with the reaction is absorbed or released by the calorimeter and its contents. Q reaction is the enthalpy of reaction ( ΔHr Δ H r) for a system at constant pressure.
where C cal is the heat capacitance of the calorimeter. Example 5.6.2 5.6. 2 (below) is the same problem as Example 5.6.1 5.6. 1 (above) but it is in a real calorimeter. Do you think T F in a real calorimeter will be hotter or colder than in the ideal? is the same problem as Example 5.6.1 5.6. 1 but it is in a real calorimeter.
Calorimetry is performed with a calorimeter. Scottish physician and scientist Joseph Black, who was the first to recognize the distinction between heat and temperature, is said to be the founder of the science of calorimetry.
