Calorimeter

[Susanna Givan 2B]

What q equation do I use when the system is a calorimeter?

[Isabel_Eslabon_2G]

I don’t know if this is correct, but I just use q = C(delta)T.

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!

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

[Lesley Kim 1K]

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

Q = heat evolved (equal to heat absorbed − heat released) in joules (J)
