Calorimetry

One technique we can use to measure the amount of heat involved in a chemical or physical process is known as calorimetry. Calorimetry is used to measure amounts of heat transferred to or from a substance. To do so, the heat is exchanged with a calibrated object (calorimeter). The temperature change measured by the calorimeter is used to derive the amount of heat transferred by the process under study.

Q. Calorimetry is best described as:

Select the Correct Answer:
A way of measuring the transfer of heat between chemicals
The measurement of heat in a system’s surroundings
The only way to measure heat transfer between objects
A method of measuring how much heat occurs in either a physical or chemical process
