It is a technique used for measuring the density of a coloured substance in a solution. The instrument used is called colorimeter. Here, monochromatic filters are used and light rays of specific bands of wavelength are passed through the solution. Any compound present in the solution, reduces the i..

The calorimeter is kept open to the atmosphere in the determination of change in enthalpy of a reaction. The calorimeter is immersed in an insulated water bath fitted with stirrer and thermometer. The temperature of the bath is recorded in the beginning and after the end o..

The heat changes in chemical reactions are measured with the help of calorimeters. Depending upon the requirements of experiments different types of calorimeters are used. In general, reactions taking place at constant volume and involving gases are carried out in a closed..

Measurement of Enthalpy of Reactions - The heat changes in chemical reactions are measured with the help of calorimeters. Depending upon the requirements of experiments different types of calorimeters are used. In general, reactions taking place at constant volume and involving ..

Significance of D H also follows from the first law of thermodynamics. D E = q - P D V q = D E+ P D V = (E 2 - E 1 ) + P(V 2 - V 1 ) = E 2 + PV 2 - (E 1 + PV 1 ) = H 2 - H 1 = D H D H = Heat evolved or absorbed in a reaction at constant temperature and constant pressure. The change in ..

= mass x specific heat x increase in temperature = m 2 s 2 (t 3 -t 2 ) According to the principle of calorimeter, heat lost by hot substance = heat gained by cold substance. m 1 s 1 (t 1 -t 3 ) = m 2 s 2 (t 3 -t 2 ) If we know the specific heat of one of the substances, by experimentally ..

Let us consider the following entries in a Students' Journal: (a) Weight of a calorimeter = 42 g (measuring instrument used is spring balance) The smallest reading the spring balance can record is 1g. There are 42 of 1 g units of measurement. Hence, there are two significant figures in th..
