Calorimeter

Question 1

What is calorimetry do?

Answer 1

= used to estimate the chemical energy from dry mass (biomass)

Question 2

What equipment is used?

Answer 2

= burning a sample in pure oxygen to determine the chemical energy
= knowing volume of water
= and temperature change after burning the sample
= air spaces reduces heat loss
= water has a high specific heat capacity, acts as a buffer
=
