Calorimetry

• Calorimeters are used to measure the heat produced during chemical reactions.
• A calorimeter consists of an insulated container with a lid, which can be removed to add reactants and record temperature changes.
• The calorimeter is filled with water, which acts as an insulator to prevent heat loss from the reaction vessel.
• A thermometer measures changes in temperature inside the calorimeter.
• The reaction is carried out inside the calorimeter, allowing for accurate measurement of the amount of energy released or absorbed by the system.
