calorimeter specifics
do we need to know the specifics of how calorimeters work, or simply just the different kinds/what they calculate?

Re: calorimeter specifics
I think it would be a good idea to have a general understanding of the process and the components of calorimeters (eg. purpose of stirrer), but I don't think it is necessary to know all the specifics (eg. function of firing leads). If I am wrong about this, please feel free to correct me!

Re: calorimeter specifics
I don't believe we need to know exactly how calorimeters work but rather just focus on the conditions associated with each one such as the constant pressure calorimeter having uniform temperature due to the stirrer and not being sealed while the constant volume calorimeter is a sealed system with multiple layers of insulation. I would also be familiar with the formulas associated with each type of calorimeter.
