A calorimeter is a device used to measure the amount of heat transferred to or from an object, often during chemical reactions or physical changes. It typically consists of an insulated container that minimizes heat exchange with the environment.
Specific Heat Capacity: The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of a substance by one degree Celsius.
Heat Transfer: The process by which thermal energy moves from one object or substance to another due to temperature differences.
Bomb Calorimeter: A type of constant-volume calorimeter used in measuring the energy produced by combustion reactions.
