Enthalpy and Calorimetry

Measuring heat flow in chemical reactions using experimental and theoretical methods.

Key Questions

  1. 1How can we distinguish between exothermic and endothermic processes at the molecular level?
  2. 2What are the limitations of using a simple calorimeter to measure enthalpy change?
  3. 3How does the specific heat capacity of a substance affect its temperature change?
