The calorimetry calculator estimates the heat energy released or absorbed in a chemical reaction. Knowing the heat change allows you to determine whether a reaction is exothermic or endothermic.
“Calorimetry is the technique used to measure the amount of heat energy released or absorbed during a chemical reaction.”
If a reaction releases heat, it is exothermic (positive value), and if it absorbs heat, it is endothermic (negative value).
The calorimeter constant is usually expressed in joules per degree Celsius (J/°C) or joules per Kelvin (J/K).
The heat gained or lost is calculated using:
ΔQ = m × c × ΔT
Where:
100 g of ice at -25 °C is added to 5 kg of water at 20 °C. Calculate the final temperature. Specific heat capacities: water = 4.18 J/g·K, ice = 2.05 J/g·K; latent heat of fusion of ice = 334 J/g.
Heat balance equation (sum of heat changes = 0):
Q_ice warming + Q_ice melting + Q_water cooling = 0
Substitute values:
T_f = [(m_ice × c_ice × (0 − T_ice)) + (m_ice × L_fusion) − (m_water × c_water × T_water)] ÷ (−m_ice × c_water − m_water × c_water)
Calculations:
T_f = [(100 × 2.05 × 25) + (100 × 334) − (5000 × 4.18 × 20)] ÷ (−418 − 20900)
T_f = (5125 + 33400 − 418000) ÷ (−21318)
T_f ≈ 17.8 °C
The final temperature of the system is 17.8 °C. Calorimetry calculators can simplify these computations for any reaction or phase change.
It is the heat required to convert a solid into a liquid without changing its temperature. Example: Ice melting at 0 °C absorbs 334 J/g.
Enthalpy is the total heat content of a system, equal to internal energy plus pressure × volume. Calorimetry calculators measure enthalpy changes in chemical reactions.
