Calorimeter

Calorimetry measures the heat released or absorbed during physical or chemical processes using a calorimeter, which contains materials that absorb heat. The specific heat measures the heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of a material by 1°C, while heat capacity is the heat needed for a given quantity. The document also provides examples of calculating heat change using specific heat values for common materials.

CALORIME

TRY
Calorimetry is the
measurement of the heat
released or absorbed during a
physical or chemical process.
It is carried out through a
device called calorimeter.
It is carried out through a
device called calorimeter.
Calorimeter contains water
and/or other materials which
can absorb heat. Its outside
walls are insulated. The
amount of heat depends on
the specific heat or heat
capacity of the substance.
Specific heat(s) measures how
much heat is required to raise
the temperature of one gram
of a material by 1°C.
On the other hand, heat
capacity (C) is the heat required
to raise the temperature of a
given quantity of material by
1°C.
Heat capacity is:
C = ms
where m is the mass of the
material in grams.
Specific Heat of some common
materials
Material Specific heat
Al 0.900
Ag 0.226
Au 0.129
Cu 0.385
Specific Heat of some common
materials
Material Specific heat
Fe 0.444
Hg 0.139
Ethanol 2.46
If the change in temperature
(∆T= ) is also given, then heat
change (q) can now be determined
by the following equation:

q = ms∆T or q = C∆T

Like enthalpy change (∆H), q is


positive for endothermic process
and negative for exothermic
Example

An 11.25 g ethanol is heated


from 25 C to 52 C .Calculate the
amount of heat absorbed by the
ethanol.
Example

A copper metal with a mass of


7.56 g cools from 65.1°C to
11.2°C. Find the heat released
by the metal.
