Question

What is the mathematical equation used when solving calorimetry problems? What does each variable in the equation represent?

Answer 1

Answer : The mathematical equation used when solving calorimetry problems is:

$q=m\times c\times \Delta T}$

Explanation :

Calorimetry : It is determining the changes in the energy of a system by measuring the heat transferred with surroundings.

Formula used :

$q=m\times c\times \Delta T}$

where,

c = specific heat capacity  of calorimeter

m = mass of a substance

q = heat required

$\Delta T$ = change in temperature of substance
