Bomb calorimeter: constant volume, measures (= qv). q = * , where = heat capacity of calorimeter. Convert to using = + *RT. Coffee-cup calorimeter: constant pressure, measures (= qp) directly. q = m * c * , where m = mass of solution, c = specific heat . For neutralisation: q = total mass * 4.184 * . = -q/moles (negative if temperature rises, indicating exothermic).
