Re: Calorimeter Calculations
There is no difference between these equations. q=CAT happens when m=1 g.

Re: Calorimeter Calculations
I believe the two forms of that equation are q=mCAT and q=nCAT? M is for mass and n is for moles, so when given moles, you would use n along with Cn and when given mass, you would use mass along with Cm.

Re: Calorimeter Calculations
q=mCAT is for when you are given mass and q=nCAT is when you are given moles. Both are the same equation and determine the heat energy of a substance on a heating curve.
