The value of
Concept Introduction:
Enthalpy of reaction can be used to find heat capacity
Here,
The value heat capacity of unit mole substance is known as molar heat capacity and it is represented by
Here,
Also, The value heat capacity per gram is known as specific heat capacity and it is represented by
Here,
In calorimeter, when heat is released it can only be absorbed by contents of calorimeter. This results in an increase in temperature. Since all heat released is absorbed by calorimeter thus change in enthalpy of reaction is written as follows:
