What Is a Microcalorimeter?

A calorimeter is an experimental device for measuring small amounts of heat. It can not only measure the heat released by the system during the process, but also detect the rate of heat release during the process.

Right!

A calorimeter is an experimental device for measuring small amounts of heat. It can not only measure the heat released by the system during the process, but also detect the rate of heat release during the process.

Introduction

The microcalorimeter currently has a sensitivity of lU-S1C and can detect the heat release rate of iU-6} V class. The curve of temperature rise versus time measured by experiments is called thermal spectrum curve. From the thermal spectrum curve, the equilibrium constant of the reaction and the rate constant of the reaction can be calculated, especially for a reaction with a very low rate (small heat release per unit time). The application of microcalorimeter to biological processes, such as cell growth and bacterial metabolism, has constituted an important branch of thermochemistry in thermochemistry. ^[1]
