1. 17.2
Calorimetry
Calorimetry is the precise measurement of the heat flow into or out of a system for chemical and physical processes.

2. 17.2
Calorimetry
In calorimetry, the heat released by the system is equal to the heat absorbed by its surroundings. Conversely, the heat absorbed by a system is equal to the heat released by its surroundings.

3. 17.2
Calorimetry
The insulated device used to measure the absorption or release of heat in chemical or physical processes is called a calorimeter.
In a simple constant-pressure calorimeter, a thermometer records the temperature change as chemicals react in water. The substances reacting in solution constitute the system. The water constitutes the surroundings.

Constant-Pressure Calorimeters
The heat content of a system at constant pressure is the same as a property called the enthalpy (H) of the system.

Calorimetry
Constant-Volume Calorimeters
Calorimetry experiments can be performed at a constant volume using a bomb calorimeter.
Nutritionists use bomb calorimeters to measure the energy content of the foods you eat. To see some of their data (expressed in Calories per serving), you can look at a nutrition label. Calculating According to the nutrition label below, each serving contains 140 Calories. How many kilojoules is this?

The heat of combustion is the heat of reaction for the complete burning of one mole of a substance.
The combustion of natural gas is an exothermic reaction. As bonds in methane (the main component of natural gas) and oxygen are broken and bonds in carbon dioxide and water are formed, large amounts of energy are released.
