Q

Endothermic

A

Heat abosorbed.

Temp of sample is less than reference because it is taking in energy to fuel a reaction eg. Melting point transition.

Q

Exothermic reaction

A

Heat evolved
Temperature of sample cell is higher than that of the reference becuase a sample is giving out energy as a product of a reaction.

27
Q

How does power decompendated DSC work?

A

DeltaT compensated for by varying heat to keep sample and ref at same temperature.
Using platinum heat sensors

28

A

Energy provided plotted as function of temperature the sample and ref are being raised to

29
Q

DCS has single/separate furnaces

A

Separate

30
Q

Area of the dip in a power over temp graph for DSC is equal to…
