Styrofoam and the immediate surroundings,
that is, the heat change is zero. [Eq. 2]
This process of measuring H is called
calorimetry, and the Styrofoam-ball set-up is
the device called calorimeter. In essence, a
calorimeter performs three functions: it
encloses a chamber in which a thermal
experiment is carried out; it measures the heat
exchange between the sample under test and

The high % error obtained in the experiment is
mainly due improper method of transferring of
solutions to another vessel.
Conclusion
Calorimetry connects chemical and physical
processes as well as heat change that are
essential in understanding chemical relativity
and physical property. The adiabatic nature of
the Styrofoam-ball calorimeter (for constant
pressure) makes it convenient for people to
carry out and trace changes of heats of
reactions under the normal atmospheric
pressure. But human errors cannot be
neglected since these errors contribute greatly
on the finals results acquired.

Applications
Ceramics
The energetic study of ceramics or solid
solution is able to reveal information about the
thermodynamics and properties of material
and further provide instructions to the
synthesis and application.

d. Calculate the enthalpy change (per
mole) for the displacement
reaction.
The enthalpy change (per mole) is 55.8 kJ.
5. Given that the standard enthalpy of
formation of liquid water, Hf,H20 is 285 kJ/mol, calculate the Hf of OH(aq).
Hrxn= Hf [H2O] ( Hf [H+]+ Hf
[OH-])
-55.8 kJ = -285 kJ (0 + Hf [OH-])
Hf [OH-]= -229.2 kJ
