Define calorimetry.
Calorimetry ( in Latin calor - heat, metron- measure) is the science, a technique that is used to measure heat changes in the physical and chemical reactions or in phase transition under specified constraints.
Calorimetry is a technique that was started by Scottish scientist joseph black to measure the heat change during the different changes.
Mainly two kinds of calorimetry are being used that is direct and indirect calorimetry.
Direct calorimetry: In this technique, we use a calorimeter to measure heat change taking place in a reaction.
In a calorimeter, there is a chamber(isolated) in which reactions take place and the change in heat will be measured.
Indirect calorimetry: In this technique, we calculate the heat that living organisms produce by measuring either their production of carbon dioxide and nitrogen waste(ammonia in aquatic organisms, urea in terrestrial organisms) or from their consumption of oxygen.
Although we can use direct calorimetry to calculate heat release by living organisms by keeping them in a calorimeter directly.
