What is the purpose of the coffee cup calorimeter?

To measure the enthalpy change of a reaction.

To measure the heat of combustion of a substance.

To measure the heat transfer in a process open to the atmosphere. (correct)

To measure the heat capacity of a substance.

What is the primary difference between constant-pressure and constant-volume calorimetry?

One measures heat transfer, while the other measures heat capacity.

One is used for reactions at constant temperature, while the other is used for reactions at constant pressure.

One is used for open systems, while the other is used for closed systems. (correct)

One measures the heat of combustion, while the other measures the heat of reaction.

What is the formula for the heat transfer in a coffee cup calorimeter?

QH2O = Qsolid + msolidCsolid (Tfinal-Tinitial)solid

Qsolid = QH2O + msolidCsolid (Tfinal-Tinitial)solid (correct)

QH2O = Qsolid - msolidCsolid (Tfinal-Tinitial)solid

Qsolid = QH2O - msolidCsolid (Tfinal-Tinitial)solid
