What calorimetry measures

What calorimetry measures

Side-by-side labelled solution calorimetry and combustion calorimetry setups showing the solution and water as the substances whose temperatures change

Calorimetry measures heat energy indirectly by measuring a temperature change. In solution calorimetry the measured surroundings are usually the solution, while in combustion calorimetry they are the water being heated.

  3. /Calorimetry

Step-by-step lessons on AQA A Level Chemistry Calorimetry. Each one builds up to exam-style questions. Build confidence with atomic structure, bonding and moles calculations early on, since these underpin the more demanding organic mechanisms, equilibrium and practical-analysis topics that dominate Year 2.
