🧠 Extended System Equation:

When accounting for the calorimeter’s own heat absorption:

You can use this to find:

• Heat absorbed or released (q)

• Final equilibrium temperature (T_f)

• Calorimeter constant (C_cal)

📘 Example Calculation:

🌍 Common Use Cases:

🔥 Scientific Insight:

The law of conservation of energy governs calorimetry:

“Energy cannot be created or destroyed — only transferred.”

When two substances or systems interact, heat lost by one equals heat gained by the other. Calorimetry allows precise measurement of this exchange to determine reaction enthalpies, specific heats, and energy efficiencies.
