Calorimeter

[Chloe C 2H]

For exams will we need to know the specifics of how a calorimeter works?

I checked outline 3 on canvas for thermochem and calorimeters were not specifically listed under what we should know, but systems were. I think therefore I would just be helpful to focus on the three different systems and examples of them.

I don't think specifics are necessary to know, but it would probably be helpful on exams to understand generally how they function. It would also be helpful to know if you plan on taking any future lab courses (such as Chem 14Bl).

I think we should expect to know that calorimeters are in closed systems, from the various examples in achieve I see that they often refer to calorimeters as closed systems and therefore we should know the properties of a closed system.

I don't believe that we need to know all of the mechanics behind how a calorimeter works. I think that we should be more familiar with calorimeters as a closed system and understand how this type of system works.

[Siena Bertacco 1G]

I don't think it is necessarily essential for us to know how a calorimeter works but rather understand how it is a closed system and how that pertains to various problems we need to work through. Although it may be beneficial to learn how it works for a better understanding of the closed system concept.

[Danielle Paisley 1H]

I do not think we need to know the specifics. However, it would be helpful to know about closed systems since it has been in a few examples. Hope this helps!

I think we just need to know the general functions of how a calorimeter works and the conditions required for it to properly function.
