Q

calorimetry

A
  • the science of measuring the amount of heat.
  • When a hot object at a temperature Th and a cold object at a temperature Tc come in contact, heat flows from the hot object to the cold object. As a result, the temperature of the hot object goes down, and the temperature of the cold object goes up. If they stay in contact, this will continue until both objects come to the same “equilibrium” temperature, Tf.
