Bomb calorimeter: constant volume, measures deltaUdelta_U (= qv). q = CcalC_{cal} * deltaTdelta_T, where CcalC_{cal} = heat capacity of calorimeter. Convert to deltaHdelta_H using deltaHdelta_H = deltaUdelta_U + deltangasdelta_{ngas}*RT. Coffee-cup calorimeter: constant pressure, measures deltaHdelta_H (= qp) directly. q = m * c * deltaTdelta_T, where m = mass of solution, c = specific heat 4.184Jg.Kforwater\frac{4.184 J}{g.K for water}. For neutralisation: q = total mass * 4.184 * deltaTdelta_T. deltaHdelta_H = -q/moles (negative if temperature rises, indicating exothermic).
