Calorimeter , device for measuring the heat developed during a mechanical, electrical, or chemical reaction and for calculating the heat capacity of materials. The bomb calorimeter has an enclosure in which the reaction happens, surrounded by a liquid that absorbs the reaction’s heat and increases in temperature. The calorimeter contains a reaction chamber, where the reaction takes place, and a thermometer, which measures the temperature change. Calorimeter Diagram A calorimeter diagram is a graphical representation of the heat flow in a calorimeter . It is used to determine the heat capacity of a substance or the heat of a reaction. A calorimeter is a device that measures heat, which is required for calorimetry. Calorimetry is the branch of science concerned with measuring a body’s state in terms of thermal features to investigate its physical and chemical changes. Calorimetry is the science of measuring the heat exchange between a system and its surroundings to calculate the change in energy
