CALORIMETRY
Endothermic
(of a chemical reaction or compound) occurring or formed with absorption of heat (energy)
bomb calorimeter
Calorimetry experiments can be performed at a constant volume using this device.
closed system
a system in which no matter is allowed to enter or leave
open system
a system that can exchange both matter and energy with its surroundings
calorimeter
an insulated device used to measure the absorption or release of heat in chemical or physical processes
Exothermic
describes a reaction that releases energy to the surroundings
Change in Enthalpy
equal to the heat gained or lost by a system at constant pressure
DELTA T
final temperature- initial temperature
enthalpy
heat content a substance has at a given temperature and constant pressure
H
symbol for enthalpy
C
symbol for specific heat
calorimetry
the precise measurement of heat flow out of a system for chemical and physical processes
