Equations and Calorimeter
I am still generally confused on how the equations q=nCpdeltaT)and q=gCspdeltaT relate to the calorimeter? Can someone explain them?

Re: Equations and Calorimeter
The two equations measure the work done on/by a system and that relates to the calorimeter because the calorimeter measures how much heat was gained/lost by a system, which is a measure of how much work was done to/by the system. Hope this helps!

Re: Equations and Calorimeter
Hi! To add on, the calorimeter isolates the system so that the system can either have constant pressure or constant volume.
