Calorimetry is responsible for measuring the amount of heat generated or lost in certain physical or chemical processes.
Between heat and temperature there is a relationship of direct proportionality. The constant of proportionality depends on the substance that constitutes the body and its mass, and is the product of the specific heat by the mass of the body. In summary, the amount of heat Q that receives or transmits a mass m of a substance with specific heat C to raise its temperature from T1 to T2 is given by the formula:
