Model 4
Calorimetry involves the measurement of heat flow from one object (often the system) to
another (often the surroundings). The instrument chemists use to measure changes in heat
energy is called a calorimeter. The calorimeter is composed of an insulated container (like a
Styrofoam cup) containing a measured mass of water. A thermometer rests in the water. A
reaction vessel is also placed inside the water - this is where the reaction actually occurs. The
reaction vessel is surrounded by the measured mass of water. We will assume that the
calorimeter is a closed system where all the energy released by one object is absorbed by the
other and vice versa.
