Results for tag: "Calorimeter"

A calorimeter is a laboratory instrument used to measure the heat of chemical reactions and physical changes, as well as heat capacity. It is used in a wide range of scientific fields, including chemistry, physics, and biochemistry. Calorimeters are typically composed of two parts: a thermometer to measure the temperature of the reaction, and a vessel to contain the reaction. The vessel is usually made of metal or glass, and is insulated to minimize heat loss. Calorimeters are used to measure the energy released or absorbed during a reaction, as well as the heat capacity of a material. This information can be used to calculate the enthalpy of a reaction, which is the amount of energy released or absorbed during a reaction. Calorimeters are also used to measure the specific heat capacity of a material, which is the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of a material by one degree. The calorimeter market is a growing segment of the laboratory equipment industry. It is driven by the need for accurate and reliable measurements of energy released or absorbed during chemical reactions and physical changes. Some companies in the calorimeter market include Thermo Fisher Scientific, Mettler Toledo, Sartorius, and Shimadzu. Show Less Read more
