Question

On what principle does calorimetry depend?

Answer 1

Answer: The answer is the law of conservation of energy.

Explanation:

Law of conservation of energy: It states that the energy is neither created nor destroyed. It can be transferred from one form to another.

According to the law of calorimetry, the total heat gain by the cold body is equal to the total heat loss by the hot body. There is no loss of heat in the surrounding. Heat is a form of energy. It is transferred only from one object to another.

Therefore, calorimetry depends on the law of conservation of energy.

Answer 2

Calorimetry is science. It is an act of measuring the amount of heat produced by a subject. The basic principle of calorimetry is the Law of conservation of energy: the sum of all energies must equal zero:
q1+q2+.....=0;
According to this Law, also it is important to note that heat going into a system is positive, and heat leaving the system is negative,
