OBJECTIVES
AT THE END OF THIS REPORT, YOU ARE EXPECTED TO:
1) Understand the fundamental principles of calorimetry.

2) Differentiate between types of calorimetry.
3) Identify and describe the various types of calorimeters and their uses.
4) Apply the formula ( q = mc∆T ).
5) Recognize key applications of calorimetry.
6) Appreciate the significance of calorimetry in the field of Engineering.
WHAT IS CALORIMETRY?
DEFINITION ITS PRINCIPLE
• is the study of the heat released or absorbed during • when two bodies at different temperatures are in
physical and chemical reactions. contact, the heat lost by the hot body is equal to the
• the amount of heat energy lost or gained is heat gained by the cold body.
proportional to the temperature change.

HEAT LOSS = HEAT GAINED
HEAT CAPACITY
• with units of J/K or J/ °, is the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of an object 1 Kelvin
or 1 °C.
• is an extensive property, meaning it depends on the amount of a substance present
> large amount of a substance - requires more heat to raise the temperature 1 K than a
small amount of the same substance
MOLAR HEAT CAPACITY
• For pure substances, the heat capacity for one mole of the substance may be specified as the molar
heat capacity, C molar
• molar heat capacity = c/moles
• heat = molar heat x moles x AT

SPECIFIC HEAT CAPACITY
• is often used since it is the heat capacity per one gram of the substance with units of J/g•K or J/g•C.
• is an intensive property which relates the heat capacity to the mass of the substance.
FORMULA:
Q = mcΔT
Where:
Q - signifies the heat energy transferred
m - mass of the substance
c - specific heat capacity
ΔT - change in temperature ∆T=(Tf-Ti)

SPECIFIC HEATS OF COMMON SUBSTANCES AT 25 °C AND 1 BAR
REMEMBER..
• Extensive property is a property that changes when the size of the sample changes.
Example: mass, volume, length, and total charge.
• Intensive property doesn't change when you take away some of the sample
Example: temperature, color, hardness, melting point, boiling point, pressure, molecular weight, and
density
Is q positive or negative?
• If a process results in the sample losing heat energy, the loss in heat is designated as - q.
– the temperature of the surroundings will increase during this exothermic process.
• If the sample gains heat during the process, then q is positive.

– The temperature of the surroundings will decrease during an endothermic process.
• The amount of heat that an object gains or loses is directly proportional to the change in
temperature.
–remember q = mcAT
– q and T are directly proportional
CALORIMETER
• a device used to measure the amount of heat involved in a chemical

process.
2 TYPES OF
CALORIMETERS

CONSTANT PRESSURE
CALORIMETER
(COFFEE CUP CALORIMETER)
• measures heat of solution or reaction in an open system.
•measures the enthalpy change of a reaction in a liquid solution

CONSTANT VOLUME

• is a closed system that measures heat of combustion
• an instrument used to measure the heat of reaction at a fixed

volume and the measured heat which is called the change of
internal energy (ΔE)
