Examples of calorimetry in the following topics:
-
- Calorimetry is the measurement of the heat of chemical reactions or physical changes.
- Calorimetry is performed with a calorimeter.
- The word calorimetry is derived from the Latin word calor, meaning heat.
- Constant-volume calorimetry is calorimetry performed at a constant volume.
- For constant-volume calorimetry:
-
- Calorimetry is used to measure the amount of heat produced or consumed in a chemical reaction.
- Calorimetry is used to measure amounts of heat transferred to or from a substance.
-
- Direct measurement is by calorimetry and is the primary empirical basis of the idea of quantity of heat transferred in a process.
