Re: Calorimeter
At least when it comes to the problems we have had to do in class or on the midterm you have to find the Ccal from the q=MCAT equation. You will be provided with the q of the reaction so a -q of that would be the heat absorbed by the calorimeter. You use that q in order to solve the equation. Hope this helps!

Re: Calorimeter
For a system in a calorimeter, you would use q=mc delta T
where c is specific heat (K/Kg K)
where c is specific heat (K/Kg K)

Re: Calorimeter
You would most likely want to use q=mCdeltaT in order to calculate the heat exchange taking place in the reaction within the calorimeter.
