Calorimetry
- Specific Heat: Amount of heat(Energy) required to raise the temp of 1 g of a substance by 1°C. Unit is J/g°C.
- Heat lost/gained by a substance in a process is
q=mCΔT
m is mass in grams
C is Heat Capacity of the substance
ΔT is the Temperature Change experienced by the substance. - Constant Pressure Calorimetry: Heat lost/gained by one substance equals heat gained/lost by other substance. One of the substances is usually water:
q1 = −q2 - Constant Volume Calorimetry: Mass and Heat Capacity are combined into a single Heat Capacity for the apparatus, Cm, so the equation becomes:
q = CmΔT
