Virtual Chemistry Experiments. Calorimetry: Heat Capacity of the Calorimeter. Concepts In calorimetry it is often desirable to know the heat capacity of the calorimeter itself rather than the heat capacity of the entire calorimeter system (calorimeter and water).
The heat (q) released by a reaction or process is absorbed by the calorimeter and any substances in the calorimeter. If the only other substance in the calorimeter is water, the following energy balance exists: q = qcal + qw. Experiments with Acids and Bases. ExperimentswithACIDS and BASES G.
