Understanding how Calorimeter works

Postby 705795430 » Fri Feb 03, 2023 12:00 am

In class, the prof showed us two different types of calorimeters, do we need to understand exactly how each one works?

What do you mean by exactly?

I think a basic idea like how they work and their relationship with heat and temperature should be fine, but they do essentially work the same way the bomb calorimeter is more complex and probably more accurate.

I saw the reference of a Calorimeter in class, but what does it do?

Rewatch my lecture as I discussed in detail calorimeters measure the heat given off or taken up during a chemical reaction.
