Energetics: Calorimetry
- Key equation: q (heat change) = mcΔT (mass x specific heat capacity x temperature change)
- Temperature change in Kelvin is the same as in Celsius
- Essential practise: Measurement of enthalpy change
- Need to know apparatus and process for this measurement
- Identification and description of potential sources of error
- Calculation of q (heat change) and the enthalpy change is required.
