Thermochemistry - Calorimetry Flashcards
1
Q
calorimetry
A
the measurement of heat changes
2
Q
calorimeter
A
device that measures heat changes
3
Q
specific heat (s)
A
amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1g of the substance by 1 degree C
4
Q
heat capacity (C)
A
the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of an object by 1 degree C
5
Q
specific heat units
A
J(g x degree C)
6
Q
heat capacity units
A
J/degree C
7
Q
heat associated with a temperature change may be calculated by…
A
q = ms/\T
- s = specific heat
q = C/\T
- C = heat capacity
8
Q
constant-volume bomb
A
device that carries out constant volume calorimetry
9
Q
constant-volume bomb formulas
A
qcal = Ccal/\T
qrxn = -qcal
qrxn = -Ccal/\T
