3/30/2013 Calorimetry◦ What basic concepts apply to calorimetry?◦ Calorimetry is the precise measurement of the heatflow into or out of a system for chemical andphysical processes.• In calorimetry, the heat released by the system is equalto the heat absorbed by its surroundings. Conversely,the heat absorbed by a system is equal to the heatreleased by its surroundings.• Ref. table T – heat transfer equation:q = m x C x ∆T• q = heat absorbed or released• M = mass of water• C= specific heat• ΔT = temperature change11
